Seed quality question

grayeyes · May 12, 2023

I bought some seeds that have proven a real disappointment (newguy420). Out of 10 seeds I have one about 4 inches and from the last pop of 5 I have two very weak sprouts. The sprouts have now had a week and one of the two hasn't even shucked the seed shell. 3 from 10 seeds is beyond disappointing.

Should I just give up now that spring is really underway and buy another KNOWN seed seller's product? I would really like to grow this strain (GDP) and I have never in the last 5 years seen such weak vigor.

Chuck 'em or wait and see?

What are your space limitations?

Are you flowering outdoors?

Is don't buy more seeds ever the correct answer? :lol:

It wouldn't be a bad idea to try another seed source and see what you think.

Started inside will finish outside. No space limit really.

Tolerance, kinda didn't see the point with the "Blutri" quote.

What is your process for germinating seeds?
Probably bum seeds but perhaps you could try a different approach

Seeds were popped the same way as I always do. 1 in 20 (hydro peroxide) in water about 6.5 in a paper towel. Right now I have 8 that are a foot high of two different strains. Not my first rodeo.

Might be they got messed up in the post or something who knows never tried the breeder you mentioned i have heard good things about them tho i give a breeder 2 tries personaly if both times are shit results or not up to my standards they never see my business again but tbh i been pretty lucky i only had some let downs over the years and ive never not had my seeds show up

Just was thinking it could be a bad media or something, but if the others are treated just the same I would bet the seeds are the issue. I wonder if it was something genetic with GDP or just bad breeding practices

Wish I was rich enough to give dealers a 2d chance. My money has to count the first time. The seeds came in plastic vials inside a sealed plastic wrapper-not damaged.

I think of it like buying cars. Do I want to buy a second Lemon?

It’s really not like buying a car but get your saying

Regardless of cause weak plants die here after they get tossed into the woods. Far too many seeds to put up with invalid plants. Fly or die is the rule here
