Getting old beans to germinate

Nice ty. I ran out of c99 x nl but I have another friend that is sending me C99 these are from 2016 but were stored in a fridge. I hope I can get these to germinate. They have not tried them in a few years but they were fine last tome they were germinated. I have pineapple skunk a few weeks old. I want to cross them. I have 9 pineapple skunk some are bound to be males. I will harvest the pollen so I have it on hand. I may need to do it over and over, so I am going to try to keep a mother plant for cloning. We will see. I just planted my first clone. It seems to be doing great, so far. I have it in the dark reveging it right now.
C99 is a good one. A mama plant is great to have as backup. Pineapple skunk sounds good. Them bootlegs?
 
I'd hope it's better than most of the groups I've seen on Facebook growing groups. The bro science is alive and well in there. Some of the info traded in there is crazy as hell.

Not as good as here. I mostly post pics and tag the growers. If someone asks for advice I will chime in If I can help otherwise I keep on scrolling. I have won a vape pen complete set up. A spare battery for a vape. I have won seeds several times. I get asked to test seeds too. The sour vengeance I am growing are testers from @sugarcoatedank. They are impressive plants with rock hard nugs and getting very frosty. They have 3ish weeks left.

The c99 x northen lights looks more like an auto than a photo. I label everything, but sometimes I drop a seed or one doesn't come up. If one doesn’t come up after 2 weeks I plant something else. I think that is what happened here. Carty sent me 2 WW x GDP. I planted them both each in a different pot without soaking them. I was high and excited. I may have reused the pot when I planted the c99. I cannot be sure either way but the buds are looking like my favorite daytime strain. WW. They do not really have a smell yet. Also they were on 18/6 lighting until I put them out last Sat. They were already flowering. I planted 3/24 they came up several days after that.

I cannot tell you just how many times I have done this too... get all jazzed up, plant some beans and a few don't make it so, we put more down. I've dumped 1gal pots into my soil container, I use a large blue storage tub with lid from Walmart... makes mixing things up easier. I always break my soils down by hand.
few weeks later I go to use soil and a plant is growing in the dark a few inches tall... these plants never fail to amaze me. their survival skills, incredible..

If you're talking about the C99/NL I'm thinking of, I know for a fact that the guy's got probably a pound or more left.......
 
This is from the plants they both look the same with similar buds smell like WW looks like GDP. I do believe they are the 2 beans Carty sent and not the C99 x NL as I was hoping for. The buds look exactly like the GDP I have in the same room but the other end.

Well I did get the c99 from 2016 to germ. I planted 5. 3 came up 2 did nothing. The a-hole cat ate one. I went scorched earth with the DE today. I found a few spider webs. Not today little spiders! Not in my garden!
I think these were planted 5-28 so not sexed yet hopefully soon. They got fed then treated with DE.

Storms and winds. Ripped a branch of the female c99. I saw it happen. Picked her up put her in my water went inside and made 4 clones from her. I hope they survive.
Side note. My c99 finally sexed. I have a boy and a girl. Going to make seeds. Took multiple pics of each one. As soon as I am done collecting the maui they come in.
