Original Panama Red seeds

[Mag7]

A friend of mines dad gave him some 30 yr old PR seeds. They have been sealed in plastic and in a pill container for the entire time. I'm wondering if they will germinate and if so, should I use rapid rooter or what would be my best choice for germination? That is is they are still good after all this time.

I doubt they're still good, but you might as well try. Make sure you have a good long term plan for them in case you do end up with some panama red from 30 years ago, you might want to save that strain... then again you might not. Intriguing endeavor.

I would germinate them in a wet paper towel in a plastic ziplock or tupperware or something in a warm place for a couple of days and see if they shoot out any roots.

That's funny I work at a coffee shop called Panama red

Scratch the seeds with some sandpaper to help water get in the seeds.
Soak for 1-2 days , hope and pray.

To store that long they should be frozen.

Unfortunately they weren't ever frozen so I have no idea what will happen. They look amazing. Perfect shape and color. Fingers crossed that at least one will germinate and even if it's a male I'll keep the pollen and cross breed with a Panama feminized that I have. Does scratching the seed really help with germination?

no need to scratch the seed in my opinion. Id just damp some paper towels with boiling water, wring out so damp then place seeds on and cover with another damp towel. place in a tupperware tub. If they will germ, they will germ that way.

Good luck.

I'll give it try. I don't plan on doing anything for few month as I prep my room

Prepare a black tea extract, and soak them in it for few days. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't then scuffing with nail clippers is recommended, I germinated a lot of hard seeds that way.

Thank Conradino!!!!
