@Troll_Patrol, I know this is way later I bought 10 of same seeds from Seedsman last year have diary going now all 3 popped but I let mine germ in the soil ffhf.one was mutant but is doing very good
@Troll_Patrol, Going thru that 3rd party does create the unknown factor. So I wouldn't beat yourself up or your method of germinating. I maintain my collection of seeds very carefully. Even doing that, after about 5 or 6 years, one is rolling the dice on shelf-life of the seed, (which you probably already knew).
If I were you, I'd procure some fresh seeds directly from a breeder or a known source. Doing that would at the very least verify your method of germinating.
Regarding the ones that did not pop. Take advantage of the ones that did pop, by cloning. That way you can make up for the loss.
Good luck to ya buddy. Say hey to Mech. See you on the field.

@@420_observer, I haven't the foggiest idea why but outta 3 beans only 2 popped and 1 is so small you have to see it almost with a magnifying glass, its actually that tiny. I dont know if its something I am doing or what, I am germinating seeds like i have since the 70's and for some reason i cant figure out why. Kush Auto soaked 4 seeds and only 1 popped now these so really WTF is it me or am i getting old bad seeds. I will say this I am getting them through a 3rd party and not the breeders like I should be.
