I'm sorry, I know they're supposed to be good guys, but I have an 80% failure rate with an Attitude Seed Bank purchase. Only 1 out of 5 seeds sprouted and the others split open to reveal mush inside. Maybe someone here can tell me if I'm doing something wrong. I doubt it but am open on the subject. Sprouting is the problem, and that points to seed because I only got into growing (and was successful) once with my Attitude seeds.
I used the paper towel method for germinating which has worked well for me, both in the past and with my second try with Attitude. I maintain a dark and warm environment and use pure distilled water, but don't even get a sprout. Like I said, since this is germination only the problem has to be pretty basic and that points to bad seeds.
I'm sure I'm way past any date Attitude would allow, so I'm pretty well screwed unless I use more energy than it's worth. It's even worse because I'm on a fixed income. What's frustrating is that since I'm disabled, not only is trying is very difficult but it takes me time to do things and I get crap about why it took so long to notice a problem or return a product. You'd be surprised at how shitty people can be, even when I'm right in front of them in my wheelchair. (This isn't whining, just a statement about the psychic energy it takes sometime)
So, while I realize they can't guarantee plants the fact I got 1 sprout out of 5 seeds tells me I got a bad batch. I'm really disappointed with Attitude's quality. Has anyone else had this 80% failure with them?
