The Mad Russian's grow show

The Mad Russian · 11-11-2008, 09:04 PM

Starting 5 seeds of a strain called Crippy #3 bought by a friend off C-bay years ago from a guy called Kentucky. It will be done using a yellow cloth whetted with warm water and placed in a zip lok baggie.
If I get any that germinate they will be put in cups of perlite and peat moss. It is planned to grow organically being under compact floros for vegitative growth and a 600 watt hps for flowering.

Them seeds look healthy.

**Pharm Girl** · 11-12-2008, 03:34 AM

Seeds bought years ago.............how were they stored??

Anyone else use old seeds and how did you store them??

The Mad Russian · 11-12-2008, 09:39 AM

The seeds were in fact healthy. "Crippy bud was sold at c-bay by a fella named Kentucky. A great producer of the most earthy tasting buds i've ever smoked. ""It's indica dom and scrog it for best results."
That is all the information I have found about thiese seeds.
Storage? A small plastic baggy that they came in and a drawer. I have had them only 3 years but they were given to me by a person that had them for a couple more years. I'm estimating them to be from 2000-2002.

Kept in a drawer.....?

idk....

start em, and if they pop, they pop. Otherwise order some fresh ones.

I ve germinated 5 and 6 yo seeds, but i keep em refrigerated and sealed.

Dandaweedman · 11-12-2008, 11:54 AM

refrigerated and sealed? My darn kids would eat em.

I have mine in either envelopes rolled and sealed or in the little plastic baggies in a tin. No problems even with the 3 year old seeds so far. I have been sent seeds that were over 16 years old in a little breeder baggie and they worked a dream (williams wonder for one)

Da wife even said, "it would be the most expensive ground pepper ever"

The Mad Russian · 11-13-2008, 09:51 AM

100% popped. I bought some beer cups and put them in a cabinet yesterday under 3 cfl lightbulbs.

How do I get the pictures to show inline?

The Mad Russian · 11-13-2008, 09:59 AM

Here is a picture of the other strain I am going to be growing. Black russian x romulan. The Black russian was an f3 of nebus black and the romulan was from a rerelease of federation seeds.

The Mad Russian · 11-13-2008, 10:11 AM

A crippy after 2 days in a warm wet place. This one was the slowest to come out of hiding.

The Mad Russian · 11-13-2008, 10:27 AM

Here is what I saw when I opened up the yellow cloth for a look at the black russian x romulan.

**farmergiles** · 11-14-2008, 01:00 PM

I keep seeds in the fridge. The theory is not particularly that they keep better but when I germ them there`s more of a change in temps so they think "Ah Spring is here".
It`s only a theory but it seems to work for me.

The Mad Russian · 11-14-2008, 08:29 PM

Awww you guys are picking on my seed storing abilitees? haha
I got like 7 coming up nice, 2 that I think I pinched the heads off accidentally oops and 2 aren't showing. Its pretty even tween the crippy and the brxr for seeds that showed heads above water so to say

A couple of pictures for you -->

The Mad Russian · 11-14-2008, 08:31 PM

Heres a funny one

The Mad Russian · 11-16-2008, 08:19 PM

All but 2 have been outgoing enough to pop their heads up. Operator malfunktion, I was gently moving soil to see wtf and mighta take a couple of heads off with the big fingers.
More in yellow cloths anyways. A couple more strains and a couple more seeds of the brxr (3)

OldMan&TheWeed · 11-16-2008, 08:24 PM

Beautiful.

With digital photography shots that would once have been impossible without expensive equipment and special training are now commonplace.

Good luck!

NorcalCarl · 11-17-2008, 12:13 AM

Good job on the pictures. I look forward to seeing those bad boys grow up. Keep us posted!

The Mad Russian · 11-17-2008, 02:14 PM

Thank you for the nice words. Digital is a veritable boon for this hobby

Here are a couple of shots of some popcorn from the last brxr harvested today.

The Mad Russian · 11-17-2008, 02:16 PM

Kind of fuzzy from being reduced. Here is one from a brxr this morning
