I am new here, just caught up, , most amazing place and things you all are doing! Hoping to find some input/knowledge for my current project. Not sure if this is the right place so I will try to keep it short. My uncle was the towns provider in the 70's (in So Cal) He gifted me the seeds he saved from 76-77, Sunk, Columbian gold, and one single Thai seed. If I can get any to germinate/ grow I will preserve them in anyway possible and send them in to this wonderful community. Doing batches of about 6-8 technique used: score with a blade at the seam, sandpaper, dilute h2o2 2-3 hours then gibirilic acid x12-24 hours then bubbled in a jar with molasses and alfalfa seeds x 48 hours, then soil. Nothing yet 
estimated remaining seed count: 30-40 skunk, 20 Columbian gold and well 1 single Thai seed. If this is the wrong thread I apologize.

Although we do have a skills section within this preservation effort, Germination is currently empty.I am new here, just caught up, , most amazing place and things you all are doing!

This is probably a good place to start the conversation but as we build this joint out it would be nice to populate some of the existing resources.
My first question is have you had success with these methods with seeds you would expect to germinate with less effort? The reason I ask is the 48hr bubbling seems like something that would terminate the process.
Manually carack? URB?
Best of luck.

No. I read it somewhere so thought I would try it. Only tried it with a few seeds. Currently doing the same technique without the bubble. Funny thing is all the alfalfa seed sprouted in the bubble lol.
Manually crack after the soak and place in soil?

I think people crack before the soak but I have never tried or researched.

Thanks for the info. That's what I have been doing. 200 PPM's GA. I had to have my brother watch it for me. Apparently I have to wait for a couple more trips around the sun ?. The one thing not mentioned that I am doing is saying a prayer when they go in the dirt.

As I continue to work on getting these 40+ year old seeds to germinate. would a seed increase with chocolate trip be of any interest and or worthy of folks here?

I wish I had an answer for you, but a 40 YO seed would have to have been stored under ideal circumstances to have a chance at germinating. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see you get those genetics back in play but I'd betcha a hundo it's not gonna happen. Keep trying friend, but I strongly suggest you start some new beans. The fresh beans will get you in motion while you're waiting for the old ones to revive. Good luck

If I don't pop a few beans every few weeks, I start to worry about my commitment!!!I wish I had an answer for you, but a 40 YO seed would have to have been stored under ideal circumstances to have a chance at germinating.

So your sayin' there's a chance ..yes!I wish I had an answer for you, but a 40 YO seed would have to have been stored under ideal circumstances to have a chance at germinating.

It's like playing the lotto, I know I won't win but everytime I give 4 quarters I get to dream and have hope for a few days. Same feeling I get when I place a 40 year old seed in gibirilic acid
.
The community has a seed winnower available for members to use (just a few finishing touches needed). The deal is you gotta clean and ship it to the next borrower.
I will be giving it a test run when Nepal Highland #1 is ready. The internals are glued to one side and the plan is to use quick clamps to hold it together. I should be able to source some clamps that will pack easy for shipping. Alcohol and a soft brush should work for cleaning.
If you are interisted dm me.
Of course you can disregard this post if the test run doesn't pan out.

He has been enlightened of our cause.
I've burned through at least 13 packs of his gear over the years.

That's a great tool in a breeders cabinet.
Mine weighs 40 lbs. Lol.
Nice bag o' beanz hit the vault today from Skunkys preservation of AG's 100% Columbian ON Haze. Will be putting together pH hunter packs soon for those who want to run them
Thanks again Skunky, and too everyone contributing to this community.

Way cool, nice job on that mega seed bag, your work is noted and most appreciated. Thanx...

Malawi (reg) from ace. I made F2's. This is one
I grew ( 2 gal) just to see what a random F2 would grow. Not sure if this would qualify as a preservation as it was not an open pollination. I only had room for a few at the time and well, I had a male so I just had to make seeds. If anyone is interested in this I will send some seeds in...I plan to make more ?. Still have both mother and stud. Although you can take it at 11-12 weeks I think more like 14-16 to do it justice. But WELL worth it!
