Awesome thread! Very cool methods and yet you make it all seem pretty easy and practicle. Thanks for the great contribution!
Worm bin for the win!
Great method, which I've never seen before.
Can't wait to see that Mexican.
Searching for some Acapulco Gold seeds to remake the skunk strain.
I wonder if this would work with just store bought worm castings in a temperature and humidity controlled set up? I have no bin and do not plan on making one.
Surprised the superthrive and all the tricks did not amount to anything. Wish I knew anyone with elite Mexican and south american seeds from way back. Never had anything better than the old elite seventies stuff.
Really interesting! Loved how you used that germination technique. Interesting stuff.
Imagine germinating 100 year old seeds to work with.
Best of luck, holding you find some gems.
I agree fresh worm castings are most likely "alive" with goodness.
Those worms are pooping fresh bacteria every day.
I want to get into hobby worm raising in 2017.
I want the worms to go fishing mainly. Worm castings would be the bonus.
I will be going with the Euro Nightcrawler seeing they grow bigger than the little common redworm
and are better suited for fishing than them also. I do have access to Canadian Nightcrawlers for
free. They are easy to catch after a Spring rain at night. But they don't like warm temperatures
and that is their main downfall. So indoor raising would be hard with them.
Great project and excellent documentation Mystic Funk. A friend sent me some old mid/ late 70's seed. I might try that worm bin idea. . thanks for your efforts. subbed
Thank you 3rdEye!
i'm doing some more tests now with other germination methods.
i'll try and get something up this week.
also if you do pop some of those seeds, please post it up so we can see them.
peace!

As you guys go through thousands of vintage bagseeds I hope you won't cull the wrong ones! Every single one could be the holy grail.
thanks buddah.
yes the worm bins killed it, amazing how simple it is too!
I think i'm going to try this method with the very small seeds and the x-large seeds because I have very little of them. I hear those are the best type of seeds. from what I read the x-large seeds could be Colombian and the small ones could Oaxacan or Acapulco gold seeds.
but i'm going to hold off for a bit because I have a few more methods to try.
peace!
