Is this germination rate label part of California Regulations?
Or just an inhouse thing?

I actually got 100% but i kinda like this idea of test rate labelling if its a new standard.

That would be breeder specific. Lots of vegetable seed packets have the germ rate on them and some cannabis seed breeders are also putting germ rates on packaging.

Then again a lot of "breeders" have no clue as they don't test their seeds.

Ya the veggie seed label is a USDA requirement. Called the vegetable seed act i think.
I was just wondering if the label is voluntary or in compliance with a newer California regulation.

Did you sign up for their subscription, if so is it worth it? Are those 3 pks full pks or 5 seeds per pk?

Yeah my biggest pet hate folk releasing stuff early you always hear the excuse folk wont wait i get that but it comes down to you in the end its one thing giving em as freebies with a warning attached however actually selling untested seeds is messed up imo and people who buy em are mental each to there own i guess it wouldn't be me all i know

@Paul-n-Chukka think thats just down to the breeder rather than a regulation or something man

I have gambling addicts in my lineage. I don't wager cash bets but i do gamble with beans.

So I don't mind cracking untested shit if at least one parent is stellar.

Popping any seeds is a gamble of course its always a genetic roll of the dice but i like to know what the deal is first personally
