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.
