hi-tech!! you guys are like the chinese of breeders
The use of treated vegetable seeds has increased dramatically during the past 10 years. Many growers now use more expensive hybrid seeds, so they are willing to pay for treatments that will help improve performance in the field to protect their investment. Fungicide applications are one of the more common seed treatments used today. A light coating of fungicide is usually applied to the seeds coat. A brightly colored dye is sometimes added as a reminder that a fungicide has been applied. Legume seeds are frequently treated with rhizobium to improve nitrogen fixation after germination. Coating and pelleting are two widely used seed treatments, particularly with small-seeded species. Coated seeds have a thin layer of material such as clay or diatomaceous earth applied to the surface of the seed to make them larger and easier to handle. However, coating does not change the overall shape of the seed. Seeds are coated to make them easier to handle, to deliver chemicals, to improve soil contact, or to inoculate seeds with microbes The exact composition of coating material is a carefully guarded secret by the companies who develop them.
jack.gh, how are you guys making 100% feminized hermie free seeds?
If I buy a pack and I get a male or hermie... Can I get sent another?
Thanks

It has merit, jack, I realise you can't give away the exact composition, but can you tell us what is in the coating apart from a colouring e.g. is there a fungicide?
Good, much better than just a coloured coating for identification, look forward to seeing what folks think of this new fangled-ness 6-12 months down the line when they have been tried out by many.

"but they said take the blue pill"
