View Full Version : Think these beans are still good?

About 5-6 years ago, I ordered some haze, and some "Black Widow" seeds. I grew the haze, which turned out fair for my first time, and I never planted the Black Widow. I was cleaning out some old CD cases, when low and behold, out of one of the cases falls the package of Black Widow seeds.

I have been planning and gathering stuff I need to start a hydro system, and was hesitant on ordering through the mail again, but if these babies are still good, I will be soooo happy. I ordered them from Heavens Stairway, like I said, about 5-6 years ago. They have been stored in a dry room with an average temp of 65-75 degrees F year round, in a CD case lol. They seem to be sealed well with plastic around that washer.

Heres a couple pictures I just took of them. Obviously I wont truly know until I germinate them, but what do you guys think my chances are of them being good?

On another note, anyone here ever grown Black Widow? I read that it was a Cannabis Cup winner in 95.

They should be exactlt the same as when you got em.
Black Widow is the original White Widow.
They changed the name to Black when thet breeder changed companies.
Bomb diggity.
They might take a little longer to germinate because of there age.

it is worth a try to germinate them. they should be fine, especially since they are still packaged. At the very least, not all of them may germinate.
