Humbolt Seed Company claims 98% germ rate...........

I dunno folks. Glad I didn't chop that Cali Octane, even tho in the last few days the aphids came back with a fury...

Out of 24 seed (4 different strains), I was able to get 4 to germ, only 2 to grow, 1 lookin like maybe it will take off, 1 lookin not so hot.

I tried several methods....and nothing.

So a 98% germ rate is pretty damn optomistic if ya ask me. It's a shame too, cause that Guzzlers was pretty damn good.

Buyer beware.

I couldn't imagine buying the 1,000 seed package with that germ rate. It's closer to 30%.

For $60 for 6 seeds......imo it's not worth it.

Anyone care to drop their tried and true brands? This is crazy. I mean, it's still only the cost of a couple zips on the block, but still. Disappointing.

Germinated quite a few of theirs! Only one I ever had a problem with was old growth, OG! That was a tough one!

Yea...it could be just me, but I been sproutin seeds of many varieties for probably 40 years....this stuff maybe 5 now. I got bag seeds from 20 years ago that pop right off...

The seeds that didn't go looked immature...couple were almost white. So I dropped the rest into paper towels and tried, and thats how I got the 2 that maybe will do something...

They’ve gotten pretty big in the last several years! Maybe the QC has gone to hell! They don’t even deal in regs anymore! The last I grew of them was last year, golden Sands hash plant, and OG triploid! No problem with them! Who knows!
