Again, I will say that if you have any issues at all please just let me know here or in an email and together we will figure out what makes sense for replacements. I always say I want you growing healthy females and not dud seeds (or a bunch of males either). So I'm always willing to make it right, I know I can't replace the time, energy, or resources. But I can replace the seeds.

What's cool is that I feel really comfortable when I offer this guarantee because of the steps I take to ensure only the best seeds are being sold. It's not risky when it's a safe bet on my side:

-I open pollinate and harvest seeds late in the cycle often giving then up to 10 weeks after pollination and letting plants dry completely when harvested.

-Cleaning is done with a gentle hand on dry material to ensure striping is maintained, and a blowing device is used to clear remaining plant material and lighter underdeveloped seed.

-The remaining seeds are fully developed heavy seeds of all sizes. A series of sieve screens are used to sort seeds into sizes #6,#7,#8 and finally the base. Base layer is thrown away. A grade seeds (strain specific) fall into either the #6 or the #7 and B grade (strain specific) are either on the #7 or #8 sieve. I own and have used a lot of the bigger and smaller micron screens but these are the sizes that matter, and have reduced my method down to for efficiency .

-A grade seeds are sold first. B grade are kept for backup. We keep track of everything digitally with iPads, spreadsheets, and calendar reminders so we are usually able to have a new batch of A grade seeds ready before we have to break into the B grade. Old B grade are thrown away for the new batch B grade.

After all this when seeds are packed to order, they are poured into hand and sorted one last time by human eye under good light to ensure only the sexiest seeds actually go into the packs. All these things, while they sound difficult and tasking, make my life at the end of the day a lot easier.

1) My whole pack of Lucky 7's is a DUD ! (why?)
2)Is there another (different run) drop of these in stock, and how will I know if its the same L7 stock or not?

Germination rate tests would help identify the issue, why not send me packs of each new drop before they go on sale
and I'll report rates back for you? dead serious @ Gu~

Wanted to add thanks to everyone who mentioned the hydrogen peroxide for seeds. Looks like a great tip.

peroxide kills fungus on seeds- formed when seeds are cold, then warm, rh fluctuations, etc..., allowing a better chance for the seedling to survive.
did any lucky 7's fail before you tried freezing and peroxide first or did you do this preemptively.
First seeds I ever froze first were some of these.

Every breeder gets a dud set every once in a while, plants have miscarriages too its just in seed form. Either that or really thick shells. I've even heard of putting em under a heat lamp or oven at 120f.
That would be if ALL ELSE FAILS. lots of plant species need fire/heat to crack the seeds. I boil black locusts seeds for 5 mins before planting em on my property line to piss off the neighbors.

Oh and yeah h202 in pure form is very caustic. O3 will strip you to the bone. I was cleaning up mold in a flooded house with labor slaves and one got drunk and passed out in the room with the ozone generator, he woke up looking like a Picasso,

Black Locust is a great plant from what I hear for nitrififying the soil, as a shade and foodstuff for livestock, and a great high Btu firewood. I also hear that its invasive.
I've considered Osage Orange for hedge and fence lines when I venture back to the continental USA.
I really want to start some seeds soon. I hope I don't have the unlucky 7's and end up with some fire! :fire:

hit me up gu@greenpointseeds.com Let's get you another pack asap. Those first ones were way too fresh. Now they are good.
The seed has to dry completely before it can be germinated usually takes about 7-10 days. I though I gave them enough time. Note taken.

Anyone else has problems email me gu@greenpointseeds.com and replacements are available. Refunds not out of the question depending on the scenario. Murica!

@Gu~ Hehe, I'll throw my hat in the ring for germination testing as well.:lol:

I've got my germination techniques down to a science (currently running at 100% for all mature seeds, even notoriously stubborn perennials). I would use my techniques for the control, and more consumer-friendly methods for the "tests". And then report on the disparity between the sets.

Let me know if I can lend a hand...:bigjoint:
