Gibberellic acid for seed germination

detgreenthumb said:

Mild hydrogen peroxide soak, followed by a gibberellic acid soak followed by germination in agar dishes are the only way to go to maximize the viability of old/valuable seed germination. I’ve run all kinds of methods on all kinds of extremely expensive and rare packs and will never do it any other way

Bud, I tried all of those ways...hydrogen peroxide + water, damp cotton cloth (paper towel), hugs & kisses and tucking them into bed too...none would pop. I've never had such bad luck germinating seeds for all my life...been growing a few plants every year now for decades and rarely had germination issues until seeds became over $10 a piece. It can't be me, because two of three Skunk #1 seeds popped are are growing like weeds...the seeds were way too old.
