32 year old seeds from Jamacia

cannagrownyc · Saturday at 3:57 PM

Sup all, I had brought seeds back with me from a vacation to Ocho Rios, Jamacia with my girl in 1993. I grew a few in 93' then stored the rest of the seeds. I was cleaning out some draws yesterday and bumped into them. I thought I had lost or threw them out by accident. So I want to germinate a few of them, they are untouched naturally grow Jamaican sativa photo, but they are from 1993, 32yrs old. I'm wondering if they will pop. What do you think? - PS: @cannapixnyc is my handle on X.

I remember the seeds I brought back from Jamacia ...good times. Anyways after 32 years I would guaranty they are no longer viable. They would last that long maybe if frozen. But stuck in a sock drawer they most likely were only good for 5 years or so.

Super cool. Might want to scratch them up to thin down the shell and help them out. 1st time I was ever out of the US was a cruise in 1993 and we stopped in Jamaica :jointman:

In 2008, researchers successfully germinated 110-year-old seeds: Hordeum vulgare (90% germination rate) and Avena sativa (81% germination rate).
In 2010, another group of scientists successfully germinated 151-year-old seeds from the Acacia shrub species.

I'll have to try. Maybe scratch & soak in water overnight. then do the paper towel method, April/Spring is coming. I would put um outdoor. Will use solo cups just incase they germinate, this way i can bury um. - would be a trip if they popped. Stay tuned...

I don't know if this is true, but i heard when a seed has that little nipple sticking out of one end of the seed, that its a female. True?
