- I have germed 6 of thier feminized seeds and all 6 have germed. I accidentally killed 2 of them after the taproot had emerged, but out of the origional 3 Big Bang fems, all 3 germed, but I killed 2 on accident. I had to move my setup which gives about 95% germ rates no matter what seed. When I moved it I had less space and mis-calculated something and it got a little too warm in one spot, killing 2 of them. Aside from that, the other one in with them lived even through the harsh conditions that night, and I germed 2 more Big Bangs and one Himalayan gold right after this and they all did fine. All were feminized.
- Basically all the ones I didnt try and kill germinated, and even one that should have died along with the other 2 actually still germed. I have a bunch more I won't have any room for until later in the year, so I will report on their germ rate. So far I think they are just fine. If I hadn't made my germination area too warm for that short period of time, those other 2 seeds would have finished germinating. They had already started strong. All of them germed on about the second day, which is longer than usual for me, usually I can get germination by 24 hours. these guys took 48 give or take a couple. They did germinate, however, and pretty vigorously. now they are just barely starting thier lives. Look ok so far tho.
- My point is, I don't represent them in any way (I'm actually pissed at them for another reason... they won't even answer my emails just because I'm from the USA). And I have experienced much better germ rates than this guy. Not saying it was your fault. Some seed distributors could have potentially found some 6 year old stock of something and sold it as "new" to you(Himilayan Gold has been around for a really long time), or the seeds could have been through some kind of trauma at some point after they were packaged and left Greenhouse. maybe somebody handled them incorrectly and rendered them infertile at some point between when they left the factory and they got into your hands. It may not be Greenhouse's fault. not all dealers of seeds are on the level, so to speak, and aside from that what about transportation? I'm just saying, you dont know why your seeds didn't germ. Mine did ok, so I think that your situation probably isn't the norm, anyway.
