Well out the first set of 4 O.B.S. seeds 3 are duds. They germed and popped a black taproot. And that was it. Nothing else. Kinda irritated. As this is the second pack of duds ive gotten from greenpoint. I had a bad pack of Chinook Haze that did the same thing.
That's a bit disconcerting. I don't intent to run mi e for a few months and there isn't much information on them. I really want a clementine learner.

In my experience if the seed is capable of pushing a taproot than it a not a dud. It did it's part, maybe you aren't doing yours? Temp, too much moisture? It's possible to fry the seed after Its already popped a taproot. And that's not the first time I seen a black taproot. Looks like it's still got the little casing inside the shell on it.
I'd drop them in soil and see what happens
That's not true. About the taproot. Seeds can push taproots out and still not grow. I had half a pack of Chinook Haze do the samething. And not grow. I'm still planting them and hopefully they sprout. Snd its not my method. I have popped over 500 seeds the exact same way. NVR changed anything. And recently popped 15 the exact same way. No problems with anything else. And not all or the four did that. There' no way one spot in my paper towel was good and 2 inches from that spot be different.

Edit: after I posted I reread my post. And seemed as if I was being a smartass. Jus wanted to clarify that I wasn't. Incase you took it that way. Wasnt my intent.

I spent about an hour or two on the chat messenger this morning with Gu. My CC company is a real PITA and kept denying everything. we finally got it squared away. most of you guys know time is money and this cat spent all that time this morning dealing with me for a lousy couple hundred dollar order... Gu you are the man. thanks for all the help! On another note i scored Texas butter, Tomahawk, cookies n chem, eagle scout, jelly pie for a steal!

Yeah I'm hoping for a Clementine leaner female. And a strong male. I have a few strains id like to cross. And if love to cross a male from this line to a banging jelly pie female. I have a thing for fruity strains that are heavy hitters. And I think offspring from a OBS x jelly pie would be fire.

If anyone ever comes across blocked photos that I uploaded please do not hesitate to ask me to repost them. I'll do my best to get them up again.

Tomahawk was very greasy to the touch, reeked gas, good yield, great flavor and good night time smoke.

Thank you! She looks great & I can really see the GG4 and the Stardawg both in that last pic. I love GG4 so it sounds right up my alley. How long you let her go?

Are you using hydrogen peroxide? Not to repeat myself, but I SWEAR by a capful of 3% hydrogen peroxide in 20 ounces of distilled water for seed starting. I used to constantly fight damping off and since I started using it I've went 100% germ rate and survival rate on all mature seeds. Not just GPS (26/26), but stubborn seeds of various perennials as well. It could be something as simple as a pathogen on the outside of the seed that attacks the taproot as soon as it sprouts. For your own sanity, please give it a try.

Tap water isn't always sterile. Ever get pink residue in toilets that aren't used much?
