We know from our tests and customer feedback that these seeds are as advertised. We have a germination guarantee of at least 50% germination. If your results are less than that, contact us. As for male/female ratios and the eventual outcome, so much depends on the grower's ability and the quality of the environment; it is difficult to guarantee much beyond germination. We would expect all seeds to be viable and to grow into healthy plants. We would also expect our customers to learn how to do this. Growing a seed is not an automatic process and needs quite a bit of help from you. We're happy to help with any irregularities, so feel free to contact us. We are not in the business to scam or cheat anyone. We work to insure that our customers are satisfied and confident of our services and we look forward to doing business with you again. We try to provide as recent new strains  (on demand) as possible.

Triplenode seedlings

Triplenode seedlings ----------------------------- Welfare and Pot Don't Mix ! --------------------------------------------- Germinating Info              Storage:  Seeds can be stored at room temperature in a dark place for up to 5 years.  For more than 5 years, store seeds in airtight container with a few grains of dried rice, in freezer.              Germination:  You will require 1 liter of distilled or bottled water such as Naya, 1/2 teaspoon of bleach (regular bleach, not the one for colors) 1 zip lock bag (sandwich size), 1 J Cloth brand dishtowel or a clean piece of loose knit Cotton.   I prefer the J Cloth as it can retain moisture yet it is also very porous.  Mix the bottled water with a haIf a teaspoon of bleach.  By now you are thinking “Bleach? That is going to kill my seeds”, well don’t.  This subject has been debated but never proven.  Chlorine is already present in tapwater, and many have germinated using tap water. The reason for the bottled water is to avoid using too much chlorine as well as avoiding any Impurities that can be found in tap or well water.  What the bleach will do is prevent mold from growing, as you will be storing these seeds in very humid conditions for the next few days to about a week.  This amount of bleach will not harm nor affect the seeds at all.  Once the mixture is ready, take your J-Cloth (check WalMarts if you still don’t know what a J-Cloth is) and fold neatly into four so it fits in your zip lock bag.   Submerge it into your mix of water and bleach and let soak.  Remove it and ring out the excess water.  The cloth does not need to be dripping wet, just we t to the touch.   Seeds require air as much as they require water.  Over watering can and will prevent seeds from opening.  Carefully take your seeds and place them inside the fold of the J Cloth.   Spread them out and fold over the J-Cloth.  Place inside the zip lock bag and blow some air inside, seal and now just look for a warm place to keep the bag.  The top of your refrigerator should work fine but just make sure it is not in direct sunlight. The darker the area, the better.  Make sure you do not have a cold or are smoking when you blow air into the bag.  Germs and carbon monoxide can kill your seeds.  Check every 12 hours to see if any seeds have exposed their taproot.  If so, carefully transplant into your medium or dirt.  Blow some more air in the bag and seal if there are still seeds that have not opened. Some seeds do take longer than others to germinate so you should give it at least 3 weeks before you can be certain remaining seeds will not germinate.  Please take note that if the seeds open and a taproot starts, then the seed is fine.  Once transplanted, if there is a problem with the seedling, it is not because of the seed. There is a problem with the rest of your procedure. Blaming the seed is really not the way to go. Different strains need different conditions so be careful with which strain you work with and how to maintain it. Some prefer less nutrients than others, this is relative to the strain you are growing and data should be kept to support each different strain you attempt.  You can also add to the mixture of water a few drops of Fish Emulsion or Super Thrive. This will cause the taproot to grow much faster so keep it well monitored. Do not wait too long to transplant as the seedling will have a harder time breaking through soil if transplanted with a very long taproot.
