Hey @Budzbuddha I didn't buy that particular brand but got some humic acid and fulvic acid to try. In my small sample sizes, I haven't noticed any clear increase in germination using it over distilled water. I'll try more on old seeds as we continue. Will keep updating on here. Thanks for the help.
whats the point of this thread btw seems to be just you posting and replying back to yourself ?

Don't really have a point per se. It's mainly for me to keep track of things and to provide information via my experience and help for others. If you don't like it, you can just skip it or block my content. Or if you have any suggestions, I'm always open to hearing them. Thanks for stopping by rob.

Most of the Love Triangles have already sprouted.

Next up is Big Sur Holy Weed, Too Buku v2 (Vietnam Black x Thai x Herijuana), and '79 Xmas Bud. Plan to start soaking these in the next 5 days.

Really looking forward to the BSHW and the 79X. Both heirlooms look really cool. I might have to chuck some pollen at each one to see what I get. Will try to make extra seeds from both lines. Too Buku is an interesting pollen chuck. Only grew one plant of the mash up before and it was really cool looking with a grey color buds with a slight blue tinge. Smell and taste was more peppery than sandlewood. The first version of the Too Buku showed a lot of mutants and I culled all but one. The v2 I've grown before so I'm hoping to get a few winners here. Lost all my pics of the previous grow.

Cool looking mutant. It's the only survivor from the Too Buku v1 seeds. Too many mutants with this version. I think the super odd stringy female Vietnam Black x Thai was too opposite the Herijuana male or maybe just a bad combo. Not sure why.

haha you can always tell those types by looking at their message:likes received ratio LOL
Super tame for a troll. I've seen a lot worse on the football message boards. Maybe the stoners lose track of time to troll hard.....lol.

Regardless, it's good practice for the inevitable haters. They're everywhere :0

I dropped the Big Sur Holy Weed into the glass two days ago. One is about to break ground already.

Sometimes, seeds talk to me when I'm really high. This time a savage group of Hotspot, Too Buku v2, and Herijuana seeds talked me into dropping them in water. It's like a spirit jumped into my head and said "you want to drop these 3 strains in water now..."

Weird, I know, but true.

Hopspot is a cross made from an instagram friend, Bamboodan of Cannabis Partisan Genetics #cpghotspot. Be sure to check out his stuff on the gram. Lot's of great photos, phenos, and cool crosses as well. Hotspot is Prayer Tower x Alien Wifi Kush.

Next up today is Gooey 84%. Tomorrow is '79 Xmas Bud. Then Dread Bread. Photos coming.

Last night I dropped some Chernobyl freebies I've had for awhile.

And this morning it was Dread Bread time. Pics of this plant really get me excited for it. Want some monsters!

Tonight I'll drop some OG Jack - Tahoe OG Kush x Sannies Jack. The Tahoe mom was fire and the Jacks were all monster plants. Smoke from Jacks was a nice clear headed sativa high. Will be cool to see how this plant compares with Stray's Happy Place (Tahoe OG x Ronnie Barrett). Looks like Stray's cut is from a Cali Connect pack, like my mother here is.

Next up: Monkey Balls, Happy Place, and King's Banner XIII.

Some quick stats on the germ rates:
Black Triangle - 85%
OG Jack - 33%
Purp5 - 33%
Ms. Universe - 50%
Love Triangle - 94%
4NL - 77%
Blue Heri - 0%
New Berry - 91%
Hood Mt. Goji - 0%
Big Sur Holy Weed - 77%
Hotspot - 100%
Too Buku v2 - 8%
Herijuana v1 - 0%
84% Pure Gooey - 100%

I've been waiting until about 14 days, then moving the trays of sowed seeds away from the heat pad to see if any sprout there. It seems switching up the climate a little can cause the sowed seeds to jump up.

As you can see the germ rates are all over the board! New stuff is close enough to 100% and the old stuff is 0%-77%. I'll get a deep freezer sometime soon to start storing my seeds. Need to read up on best practice for this.

My favorite part of the plant lifecycle is germinating new seed. The anticipation of waiting for one to pop it's head out over the dirt jiffy pellet really gets me. I check several times a day and then get rewarded when I see a little mini plant looking up at me.

This morning I was greeted by some Monkey Balls sprouts looking up at me. Good day!

In the last few days, I started up some Monkey Balls from Hazeman, Zamaldelica from Ace, and some Happy Place from StrayFox.

Next up is Kings Banner XIII, Purple Wookie (Bodhi), Too Buku, and then Deep Line Alchemy #6.

In the last few days, we've started up King's Banner XIII, Cheeseberry Haze, Deep Line Alchemy #6, and Downward Spiral (Vortex x Herijuana).

Louis XIII is some of the best flower I've gotten at a shop in a long time. Picked it up at a couple different spots in SF over the last year or two and it's been fantastic. Great womp to the head at first where you say "damn I'm f-ed up" and then you feel a rush bliss for awhile that then turns therapeutic and relaxing. Great fun rollercoaster high. Tastes a little more skunky than Tahoe. Stronger than Tahoe.

I subbed in Cheeseberry Haze over Purple Wookie bc the seeds are so much older. Downward Spiral should be kinda cool if I can get them to sprout. Seeds were harvested 7 years ago! It's my attempt to get some funky smell from the vortex expanded on by the herijuana looks and power.

Over the last week none of the downward spiral seeds have sprouted. Bummer.

Since then I've started up some: Deep Line Alchemy #5, Northern Light5 #5, Stonemason, and Northern Light5 #10, and Blue Orca x 85RKS. Almost all the DLAs and the Stonemasons have sprouted. A few of the nl5#5's have. Nil on the nl5#10s and boxrks but I just put them in soil.

Obviously my stinky batch of seed dunks. Hoping to find some funk in these. There has GOT to be some skunky stinky phenos in these hills one would think.

Next up: Jack Light5 (Sannies Jack f6 x (89 Noof cut x NL#5), NL5xHaze f6s, NL#6 x Appalachia, and Fouroura Borealis for the Northern Lights batch.

The Northern Light5 #5 and #10 I have in the small greenhouse for my personal meds is progressing nicely. They are almost identical. All about 18" tall with tight spacing and nodes starting to swell up the one stalk slowly. I only have 3 going, but two of them have a slight dirty something smell to them. Like a musky old shirt that was sweaty and left in the hot car overnight smell. Hope this evolves to a stinkier smell.
