    Seed question

    I have some seeds from some 3 years ago possibly longer that I bought online from gypsy nirvana before OG got taken down. They are still in the little packs with the rice in them and have not been open. would they still be good if I was able to get them to sprout, or does longer storage make them more prone to hermi?

    Seed question

    Long storage will make the germination rates drop, starting after about 5 years, but as long as you grow them carefully and do not stress them, there should be no change in hermi tendencies.

    Seed question

    Sealed the way they are they should be fine? Depending on how and where you stored them. Pot seeds will last a lifetime if you store them correctly. As long as they were in a cool, dark, dry area during the time they were sittin they should have a shelf life of about 10 yrs.... If stored correctly.

    GOOD LUCK:thumbsup::jointsmile:

    Seed question

    Give 'em a soak- anything that sprouts is a viable plant. Older seeds can take 10-14 days to germ. Put them in a wet paper towel in a baggie and set them in a drawer for a few days- (and best of luck!)
