The other day I found about a cup of seeds that I got when I visited a relative in northern California 3 years ago. They worked for a grow operation and these seeds were giving to me. I forgot the exact strain, but want to say it was a derivative of gorilla glue that they were custom growing for the grey market.
The question is, what should I do with them? Since they are three years old are they still viable? I live in a non-legal state; so I figured I would just randomly drop them in some remote areas that I forage and hike around in, and just see what happens. And now that it is winter time, do you stratify them in this cold weather or wait until warmer weather? Or do I just mix them with my bird seed, and let nature do its thing?
I really don't partake but maybe a handful of times per year, so if these are non-viable or do not work out, it is no real loss on my part. I'm more curious to see if I can become a pseudo Johnny Marijuanaseed versus trying to get a crop.
It's possible the seeds are bad, depending on how they were stored. If you're planting outdoors, you need to consider how many hours of sunlight you get each day. Cannabis, if it's not auto-flowering, starts flowering when the days start getting shorter at the summer solstice. Cannabis indica is ready to harvest in about 6 weeks, and sativa in about 8. The plant needs a growth period (before flowering), which can last anywhere from 1 month to several. The longer it grows, the bigger it will get. You shouldn't plant before spring, and it's best to choose a spot with lots of sun and close to water so you don't have to water it often. Plant the seeds in several different spots in a hole about 2-3 cm (1 inches) deep, and don't press the soil down too hard. You could also germinate the seeds indoors and then transplant them to their permanent location, but that's riskier.

gotta love that ruderalis gene.. autos are soooo easy
reply
ruderalis is hard to find and I don't like autos. There are a lot of genetic changes, but it's true that they're easier to grow.
reply
dont worry, its not a weird genetic change, Its just a simple cross with strains from cold places like rusia where they dont have the same ligth as we do, nature finds its way and we just learnt from it. i prefer a good sativa or indica, but had a lot of fun growing autos.

I generally forage for morels in the spring. I'll more than likely just bring them with me and see how it goes.

Here, mushrooms grow after the first autumn rains.

put them in water for some good hours before dropping.. germinate them for better results, wait for spring time.. not sure where you located.

Just try to grow em out and see what happens. Always fun to just to see a plant thrive naturally, even though most strains rent meant too now days from breeding lmao.
