I tried to pop some of the Bog packs last year for an outdoor run .. I scuffed them with a match striker and soaked them in distilled water overnight and they still didn’t germ for me .. I’ll try the Urb natural I suppose . I have other packs for 2020 . I’m a bit frugal lol . The KC Brains Leda Uno night have some nice nice phenos if I can get em to pop .

how old are they and how were they stored? storage can make a huge difference on whether or not old seeds will pop.

The Bog might be 6 or seven years old . They were in a prescription bottle with rice and a desiccant in the crisper bin . Might be a bad batch but I’m determined . There is a strawberry Pheno in those packs that’s a true 45 day beast .. Dank herb for sure . I’m bound and determined to pop some before I reach for my wallet lol .

I aspire to have that kinda self control. Right now I have enough seeds to last me probably 2 lifetimes and I still buy more almost weekly haha somethings wrong with me

URB natural for older seed germination...thanks for the commentary fellas!

Any info. on the methods used, re: dilution rates, how long to soak, etc. would be much appreciated.

I usually use the prescuff and damp paper towel method for normal germination.

I do a scuff...then soak in DI water mixed with store bought H2O2 (20:1) for 12hrs. Supposedly this helps soften the husk and kills bacteria. Dump that and reapply DI water with URB or Recharge for another 12-24hrs or until you see a tail. Then into seed starter soil. If no tail goto the paper towel. Don't want to drown them. Light Warrior soil always worked well for me.
