No one can say their seeds have 100% germination rate. If swerve said that, it's total bs. He's just brushing you under the rug.

When I changed my germination method from wet kitchen paper in to directly to medium (after presoaking for 24 hours) I had 100% success. Try it its much better.

Root Riot cubes. I'm not 100% with them, but pretty fucking close!!

If a plant is not pollinated to an extreme and the seeds are tested shortly after or distributed I do think its normal to see such high germination percentiles ..
Sad to say many of the beans sold through seed banks should have been disposed of in the first place due to irregularity and such .. But thats not happening with most breeders , many want to sell every damn seed with a shell and add them as count ...

I've started hundreds of beans. Mothers Finest 0%, Skunk #1 only 3 popped. Other that that the only seeds I've had not sprout are a few of my own that got old. My problem is sometimes I damp them off right after (kick myself). 100% is probably a stretch, but I'd easily believe 99.99%.

Still sucks paying 70 dollars for 10 reg seeds and only 70% of them popped and then only 50% will be female.

Yeah that's true when you get fresh seed. I bought a few packs of Cali Connect seeds that needed the dust wiped off of them, probably sat for who knows how long. When I get ONE seed to germinate out of a ten pack thats pretty terrible and even worse when the second Tahoe 6 pack I get two. I have popped about 200 hundred beans this year.

So ur saying you bought a ten pack 7 popped and half of them tuned out to be males right? Well that still leaves u with 3 or 4 females which depending on strain, pheno, lighting, growing techniques ect. You should be able to pull atleast an average of 1oz per plant (minimum) of some dank ass buds. Now I don't know about where your from but around here for some bomb ass dank an oz will run u $250 to as much as $400 depending on who you know. So you figure you grow out your 3 to 4 females and pull 3 to 4 oz you just saved yourself $750 to $1000 and thats if your picking it up from your dealer at $250.

I got same number to germinate too. 7/10 reg osd. then killed one by accident. so then I popped the fem mix pack they all popped out little tails but are going so slow. I don't know if any of the fems are going to make it. it's not even cold her yet.

I paid 113 for each pack and had 100% germination! From seeds dating back to 08 so all this talk about bad germ rates idk... 7/10 isn't bad anyway shit I had a whole pack not germinate at all.

Ive had great success with CC Gear all day grem rates are good! plus i hear more newbs talk about how they cant get good grem rates i see a ton of folks doing the wrong shit and then blaming others! Lol sum need to continue learning befor growing! I poped 1000 stress seeds befor i even attempted to get Name brand seeds just to get a 100% method! all i can say is Swerve keep up the good and hard work bro and good luck at the cup with the speeches and stuff!

Root Riot cubes and NO heat mat = Great germination rates.
The more you fuck with your seeds, the worse your rate. Newbs over-think and over-react with seedlings. Put them in a cube and leave them the fuck alone.
Don't let it dry out, and try to stay medicated.

I use Root Riots but I also use a heatmat. The heatmat for me speeds things up alot. Putting seeds in the fridge a few days before you pop them also helps. Using a heat mat does create more males but I have a theory on that. They are less likely to herm on you because if you stress a female and she still remains female, she is less likely to pop male parts. It's a theory but it seems to be working for me.
I have only had 2 bad packs in my life both CC. The CC seeds I got were black seeds and didnt grow, they should be tan with tiger stripes for best germination. I also shouldn't be getting seeds that turned mutant, missing leaves and deformed leaves. The second worst germ rate were my Goji OG 7 out of 11, black seeds also. I read that black seeds mean that bacteria had gotten inside the seed making it dead. Out of the hundreds of other seeds I have gotten 100% or 90% germination rates. I have gotten the best rates from Rare Dankness seeds but I also order a lot from them.

I paid $150 for a 10 pack of OSD here in canada with 100% germ rates. I tried smoking the first OSD harvested for the last wk along with 3 other smokers and to my amazement my much heavier strains are better smoke. Maybe I need more time for it to cure tho to make a final judgement. My other strains had much better growth traits by far but they are also more desirable smoke at the moment "10 days after the chop". I have some other phenos of OSD still growing in the bush to compare that look nicer.
