So stoked to find these seeds. I found about 50 seeds when going through a jar a farmer friend from carmel valley gave me waaay back when. Either “awesome purple” or “lemon jack” either way so excited to have seeds from the old school. After a day soaking in a shot glass SUCCESS germination two of the six. I moved them to a towel and Ziploc bag. In the dark on top of my tent where it’s nice and warm.

Anyone else use shot glasses or submerge your seeds in water before germination?

Yes. I find it really helps my germination rate! I keep them in water about 18hrs, then into a moist paper towel for 3 days. Plant the seed, taproot down and wait. Another 3-5 days and ta’da- 🌱

On older seeds, I'll always soak them in PH'd water for 24-48 hours. On newer seeds I'll soak em till they sink, usually 4-12 hours, and then do the typical paper towel method with a heating pad on old or new seeds.

I'm just curious if they'll germinate. If stored properly, should crack open.

@ChronicFinest, me too! I have about fifty ish without actually counting them. I’d say at least 20 good feeling and looking ones. They’ve been in a mason jar for 10 years so I think they’ve been stored properly only time will tell. I have them in a shot glass germinating over night so we’ll see.
