    For the record, I mentioned this even back in last year’s thread (the inventory needed refreshing) so that’s always been a known thing. What we are testing is how much/long of an issue it is and at what rate. Consider it a 16 person germination test 🤣

    Not a great sign. Still, don’t give up on them. To make it fair, I’ll germ whatever seeds are in 6 berries, in one tray…then I’ll shotgun sow all of the inventory in a few other trays and pray.

    Can we get an official roster for: People who’ve been sent a pack ☑️ People who’ve received the pack ☑️ People who have gotten seeds wet and have successfully germinated them ☑️ Rate of germination ☑️

    From just perusing their photos and the review photos, I can see the pods are just a bit funky. Close but funky. Morphology a bit off. Would definitely know once I saw the plant and was able to do a side by side. Once you get to know a plant and you’ve been isolating line selections of it for...

    That’s the least important part of the equation, so long as proper storage methods are utilized. To this day, CP continues to pull 20+ year old seed out of proper storage and has nearly 100% germination. This bag however wasn’t properly stored. These seeds/berries were put away in 2020 but...

    Nice. In all honesty, I should be bringing my 5DIII and leave it setup as my macro rig so I can have the R5 as my dedicated video rig. I love how far the mirrorless bodies have come.

    Give them time. Don’t give up on them. They will be slow I imagine. As I stated initially, I need to refresh this inventory. Some storage mistakes were made. I haven’t started anything yet, but this is good data either way. I wouldn’t worry until a month has passed with no hooks. Then we can say...

    You don’t have to grow them all. Would be easy enough to shotgun, mass sow them in the few cells you’re allotting for them, just to gauge germination on the total, then cull mercilessly. If not no worries. I’m sure I’ll be able to judge based on everyone else’s results. Grow however you want...

    Would be super cool if everyone sowed every seed in their 6 berries so we could assess proper germination rates on these. You can toss as many of them as you want after they pop, I’m just genuinely curious.

    Who’s gotten their seeds wet so far?! @Crazy Monkey anyone get theirs yet? You get yours wet? How many seeds total out of those 6 dried pods in each pack? All stuff I’m interested in knowing! Trying to gauge germination rate on them. If people could bust all the seeds out of the berries, count...
