a question for those in the know

i ordered seed---only got 4 out of 10 to pop.want to order differant seed order, however i cant afford 80.00 for seed that will not pop.since i cant email them about it,how do i go about telling them<do they even care.>i am going to order a 100.00 purchase this week on the shortstuff however i feel they should be willing to compensate for seeds not germinating.- especially since i am reordering and would only cost then a few seed since ill be paying shipping anyway--is there a way to get what didnt grow or does 1 just loose those.?sorry for the rant--its been 10 days since i recieved ---all 4 are doing well but 6 pots sit empty---not good odds i must say

Call them or email them and tell them 6 of the 10 seeds were CRACKED (thats the key word) when you recieved them and they should take care of you if there reputable...good luck man...How did you germ them?

i soaked a few hours and put into soil.10 -1 gallon pots--promix---distilled water------i also got5 free so i soaked 2 of those ---and planted ---nothing yet.--not worried about free ones just what i paid my hard earned money for .---anyway too expensive for me to not pop.big family and little work tends to make the stress more intense,wife says you wasteing money on something that dont grow.---dont want to seem unreasonable----love this site though!!!!just had to add that----

Ok... Did you soak them until the tap root poked out? I put my seeds in a shot glass (any glass) in a dark warm place for 12 to 24 hours.. once the tap root pokes out i place them into soil.....My advice is to let them in the water until they crack open ....

in the week an a half i read post on a dozen ways to germinate.i am a old man--been farming along time--i tried soaking for 12 hrs--then plant---directly to i gal container as instructed for the lr#2-----i also have a few dozen AZ seed an i planted 10 and all are breaking soil now---i also recieved 5 free fem seed .i also planted 2 of those and still not up.

now the 26th and nothing--

notified company--the are gonna replace the bad seed on my next order----

What seed company was this? Just curious. A lot of them like to have their good name spread around in a situation like this... and I believe the deserve to.

why it the ATTITUDE---they were great ------will order again evry month for there free seed hehe a great place to purchase your beans for sure!!!!!

good to know. i feel like i've popped enough beans with a high enough success rate where if a bunch didn't pop i could be CERTAIN it wasn't my fault. i've ordered from the tude a few times but i've been very lucky with getting my order and having the seeds germ. glad to hear they took care of you.

thanks----i had considered ordering from other places but the ATTITUDE has been awarded all my business---
