Thank you so much @musashi . I’m at least as excited as you are to see how they develop.
By my standards, they had a really short vegetative period. If they still manage to finish at around 50 cm in height, that would be absolutely ideal. Right now, they’re just over 25 cm, so we’ll see how much stretch they have left in them.
I’m already getting ideas in my head again...
Theoretically, a good clone from one of these, flipped early, with 10–14 cuttings in a SOG setup could be an absolute hammer.But for now, we’ll wait and smoke some weed
One Love,
Penny

Good luck Mr. Brown!Day 1
Let's get it startedToday I put 4 'SSH x AC' seeds in the old soil from my last SSH grow
As soon as they are big enough I'll transplant them to 8 liter fabric pots with freshly mixed TLO soil

Though I ended up with 13 seeds, it appears as if others were damaged too, as I only ended up with 6. My last 3 straws have been damaged or confiscated
Pics taken at only 2 weeks post soak, so off to a nice start

i see you and mu used it for start the seeds
and i found my start very bad i use only the towel with the water method
so i decided to try it
i had buy a bottle on the super maket i will try on my tester
thinkng start around 1 July

Hi beloved fellow growers,
Personally, I find most germination methods unnecessarily complicated compared to simply planting directly into the medium. I’m not really sure where the added value is.
Okay, if I wanted to germinate a large number of seeds, I can understand it. In that case, maybe I’d want to save some medium and avoid filling pots for seeds that might not sprout. The same goes for older seeds where germination rates may be lower.
But if I’m starting 10 to 20 fresh seeds, I just plant them straight into the soil, keep it lightly moist, and they usually emerge on their own within three to seven days. No need to handle delicate taproots or transplant seedlings into the medium afterward.
Over the last couple of years, my success rate with this method has easily been above 80–90%, conservatively speaking. In fact, I can hardly remember the last time a fresh seed failed to come up.
Keep it simple. That’s my motto.

That wasn’t meant to be rude at all.
It’s just that I’ve tried pretty much everything over the years — Jiffy pots, the paper towel method, the glass-of-water method... even the moon calendar... well, maybe not that one.
Looking back, I think I simply worried too much about germination. These days I keep it simple: Light Mix, about 0.5 cm under the surface, keep it moist, and let nature do its thing.
That approach has worked really well for me.

“The easiest way to start the plants is to sow the seeds directly into the soil” - Mel Frank 1978
He also states, “Some growers prefer to plant only seeds they know will sprout, especially when planting seeds which have a low viability. Start seeds in wet towels or a glass of water. Add one teaspoon of liquid bleach (a three percent solution) to each cup of water. This will prevent fungus from attacking the seeds…”
There is also data that shows that H2O2 may increase germination while reducing microbial growth.
"Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can enhance seed germination by improving the speed and success of the process. It acts as a signaling molecule and helps in reducing microbial growth, which can otherwise hinder germination."
Further, "Levels of hydrogen peroxide in germinating seeds and young seedlings can be modulated via pre-sowing seed priming/conditioning. This rather simple method is shown to be a valuable tool for improving seed quality and for enhancing seed stress tolerance during post-priming germination." - https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2016.00066/full
It is good to know that simple methods will work for fresh seed procured from reputable sources. It is also good to know that there are other simple techniques/tools available to us for old seeds with low germination rates or seeds that may have been subjected to various viruses. These simple techniques don't involve the use of gibberellins or other phytohormones which may require more sophisticated application.

There’s always a lot of comments and styles to germination. I’ve had no problems, especially since I started using hydrogen peroxide and water. This problem was that the seeds are getting crushed as I mentioned. My last few runs are germinating at 90 to 100% so this is out of the ordinary. I can’t get any more free seeds unless I buy a shirt because three times is enough.

Last 2 crushed seeds were due to postal machinery, and before those, CBD were confiscated due to unlabeled/unknown.
I also have another lifetime of seeds in my collection and almost every MNS strain, so I think the
gods are telling me enough seeds…

It looks like I've got at least one male among the three testers so far. The pre-flowers are definitely pointing in that direction. There's still nothing showing on the other two yet, but that's all good.
I'll leave him in the tent for a few more days, maybe a candidate for further Projects.

All 4 seeds sprouted and stuck their heads out of the dirt
This weekend I'll recycle 40 liter of my old TLO soil mix and in approximately 2 weeks I'll transplant the seedlings to their final 8 liter fabric pots
