Yeah , but in nature a lot of seeds die & some survive, to save the cost of losing pricy seedlings I little human intervention helps.
I will agree to disagree!
I do 12-24 hour soak and plant or just plant and ive only lost 8 seeds in 5 years.
Imo, it gets rid of the weak ones that would pop being babied In a PT.
No one has time for weak little runty plants.
And i wont pay over 100 a pack for seeds so it doesnt hurt at all when a seed doesnt pop cause ill clone till pigs fly dude. Ill grow the same plant for multiple runs before starting a new bean.. Get ya moneys worth.
