20 Year Old Seeds- White Widow Extreme from Amsterdam

Greetings and Salutations to my GN family. I felt like this grow needed a thread of it’s own.
Thank you to @sssportsmfg for trusting me enough to send me seeds that were 20 years old. They are Auto, and like the G-13 lore; the White Widow Extreme has a story of its own.
The pressure was on because Sports had already popped a couple to make sure I couldn’t make up any excuses.
Well 2 of the 3 are above soil, and I really think the 3rd one will be coming soon.
There have been numerous conversations here about germinating old seeds. @MrBlue germinated seeds 30 and 40 years old. @PreyBird1 has done 30 yr. old ones. Now @sssportsmfg and my self have germinated 20 year old seeds.
Now the real challenge happens. The seeds are germinated. Can I grow them successfully? That will be the final chapter to this story.
I am going to do it in front of all of you😁
Feel free to add your story, or Old Seed Grow✊

Adding this for a benchmark.
Tree Grown From 2,000-Year-Old Seed Has Reproduced | Smart ...
Back in 2012, a team of Russian scientists unearthed a cache of seeds from a prehistoric squirrel burrow that had been covered in ice. They eventually succeeded in germinating the 32,000-year-old specimens, which grew into an arctic plant closely resembling the modern narrow-leafed campion.

Thanks Sly, but if I don’t grow them, then it turns into a disappointing thread! :rofl::joy:
If I have you and @PreyBird1 keeping an eye out, then I will be golden…
I am just thankful we finally got @sssportsmfg on board.
He donated the seeds for this project, and could even find the thread. :flushed:
All is well growers! Now let’s grow some old seeds.

Sports,
You know I will not give up on it…
This was the one that had the tiny tail.
Really wish I would have left it in the water another 24.
:man_shrugging:t2: Lesson learned.
Got my pots for the Old gals today.
Doing the tall Preypotz :grin: that @PreyBird1 developed.
