Sales seeds - germination percentage

Svetka

I don't know about you, but I periodically have problems with commercial seeds. Firstly, there are very few seeds in a pack, and secondly, out of a dozen seeds only three germinate.

One time, it was actually funny when I decided to plant a carnation in a flowerbed, and a chamomile grew.

How are you doing with this?

Yes, it happens from time to time, but you just need to take seeds from an already trusted manufacturer. I planted my own and realized the difference: purchased seeds germinate later than my own, and sometimes half of the purchased seeds do not germinate at all. It depends on what else to plant. I'm still choosing purchased seeds.

I once ordered seeds from an online store and more than half of the seeds did not germinate, although the companies were trusted. But I bought seeds at the market in ordinary non-colorful bags and everything sprouted.

Not a bad online store, I ordered seeds from them a couple of times, the range is really good and the prices are reasonable.Regarding quality, I’ll say this: here, as elsewhere, depending on your luck, the only thing this store doesn’t do is sell expired seeds or seeds in damaged packaging, and germination is a matter of luck, I usually soak the seeds - then there’s a greater chance of success!

I order a lot of seeds through the online store. I have never had very bad germination. I took them to the market and they sprouted very poorly. Therefore, it is not always possible to guess. Try to take only trusted companies and there will be fewer disappointments.

I once watched a program like crazy dedicated to this issue. Very often, garbage is placed in bags instead of seeds, and it is impossible to insure against counterfeit and dead seeds. Even trusted companies cannot guarantee good germination. Buying seeds is a game of roulette.

It happens that the seeds do not germinate, but this rarely happens to me. I try to take seeds from the same company or even ordinary seeds in ordinary non-glossy bags, they are 95 percent germinating, I have verified this from my own experience.

A beautiful bag, unfortunately, does not mean the quality of the seeds. I try to buy the bulk of seeds only from trusted places and only from familiar companies. And I take on strangers quite a bit, for the sake of experience.

Of the seeds that we bought, most sprouted. BUT, for this we carefully selected packaging according to production date. Do not allow the expiration date to be more than a year. And if the harvest is good and the variety is not a hybrid, then try to collect the seeds from the fruit yourself. We grew wonderful watermelons this way, but it just doesn’t work with tomatoes.

Our mother was always in charge of buying seeds.Over the years, she has learned to choose them very well, always paying attention to the variety, whether the seeds are hybrid or not, whether they are suitable for our climate zone, etc., etc. There have never been any problems with germination. Although rare, it did happen that instead of ten seeds there could be 8 or 9.

A real example from this year. The store bought 2 packets of seeds of the same plant. One bag has sprouted completely, the other has only one seed! Moreover, the total quantity per package is 50-100 pieces. So there's no guessing here. Only safety net will save you from crop failure

And I always have good seed germination. Before purchasing, make sure they are not expired. The bag always indicates the date of collection and shelf life.

Excellent seeds and excellent germination rate. You can buy it in Vladimir here

I always have luck with purchased seeds, I always take one manufacturer, they germinate with a bang. Only once, last year, was I tempted by carrot and beet seeds on a ribbon. They are evenly glued there, I thought to avoid tedious thinning. In the end, probably only a fourth part sprouted ((I won’t buy any more.

I always buy seeds only in white bags, and prefer a local producer. In colorful packages, the germination rate is practically zero; they pack any defects there, knowing that the buyer will be led by the catchy picture and will buy it anyway.

Poor germination often occurs with flower seeds, and once I was disappointed in the varieties of tomatoes whose seeds I purchased in the store. There is one description on the package, but something else has grown, practically unusable and with low yield.Now I try to buy seeds from people I know.

Last year's seeds germinate well. If they are several years old, then certainly not all of them will sprout, even if you keep them in a biogrowth stimulator. Before planting seeds, I still look at them and decide which seeds to plant and which ones to take and throw away.
