Sampling Germination Before Committing
By: justicebzwieg on Sep 04, 2026 08:57 AM EST
Popping three or four seeds from a new pack as a test run before planting the rest tells you the viability of that batch and saves a wasted cycle if it turns out poor. With regulars it also gives an early hint of how uniform the line is. Suggested sample sizes by pack size, and what germination percentage should make you contact the breeder, are given on https://breederregularseeds.com in a short table. Most decent regular stock comes in above ninety percent when fresh.

Running a quick test batch is such an underrated step before committing time and space to an entire grow. Checking viability early—especially with regular seeds—gives you a solid baseline on stability and saves you from the frustration of managing uneven canopy growth or empty spots later in the cycle.

What's your personal threshold for germination rates before you reach out to a breeder—does anything under 85% warrant a message, or do you give them more leeway with harder-to-breed strains?
