I had a group of 6 seeds from 2007 that I germinated this week. All seeds were soaked for 1 hour in liquid then moistened paper towel for 12 hours then into Jiffymix. Wondering whether 9 year old seeds would germinate, I used a gibberellic acid solution for soak and paper towel with 3 seeds (3 seedlings on the right). I used a dilute humic/fulvic solution for the 3 seedlings on the left. Watching the action closely in the incubator, I could not tell any difference between the 2 groups. All 6 seeds popped through soil between 60 and 96 hours and were moved to light. The 3 seedlings on the left look quite normal to me. The gibberellic acid treated group on the right looks leggier and less "normal". All seedlings subject to identical conditions.
