Finding an old seed stash

[TychoMonolyth]

4 or 5 years ago, while browsing in a head shop about September, my wife picked up a retail pack of Sour Diesel seeds (I think) off a dusty display case at the checkout. I shoved them in the outside breast pocket of my jacket and forgot about them. It's a small pocket never used for much. February rolls around and we're heading off to Peru. We left Montreal, had a 9 hour layover in Houston, then on to Peru. 2 weeks there and flew to Ecuador for another 2 weeks. On our way back we had a day in Panama, then back to Houston, and finally Montreal. Hard travelling.

When I got home I'm emptying my pockets of chips, half eaten chocolate and granola bars, and yup... you guessed it, the pack of seeds I had in that little fucking pocket. It must have been scanned 10 times. lol. So I learned to keep seeds out of my coat pockets.

Fast forward to today. I'm looking for a band aid. Can't find any. Ah... my travel bag. Found some at the bottom, along with this little surprise. This is from last year. lol

They're in very sad shape but I'll give it my best shot.

Anyone ever find an old seed stash? Any luck germinating them?

Lucky you didn't have to do any explaining to the Customs Officials along the way.

Guy with Badge, "What do we have here?"

Traveler, " Genetic Souvenirs??" (fingers crossed)

(look puzzled.) "What the... what is it?"
Take my lumps I guess.

 

[TychoMonolyth]

Yea. RO water, peroxide, and a touch of gibberellic acid.

Fingers crossed. if I get one, I'll be happy.

Not sure why I'm stating the obvious, but some people like scuffing 'em up a little before letting them hit water.

PS: 5 years is old? Maybe old given how well-traveled they are.

How expensive was the coke in peru?

Tomato seeds (fresh) put em in the germination medium

What seeds are those?

Those are long gone. I think I picked them up in Peru.

lol. That's a no-no for me. I know myself way too well to get intimate with it. And I recognized that when I was 20. I could walk into a bathroom in a bar and tell you if there was coke in the house. I have an addictive/ocd type personality so... I'll pass. I have too many friends who were on fucking heart pills by the time they were 25.

I'm just glad mesc isn't readily available like it used to. But I always have a tea in Ecuador. It's brutally and painfully honest, and releases you from the shit you've been carrying. I'm glad the medical community in Canada is starting to look into psycadelics. Anything that can kill the black dogs chasing you should be looked at.

They didn't pop. I let them dry out again and I'm giving them another shot. Sometimes letting them dry, and giving it another attempt works.
