Do you guys add h202 to your water?Your not alone Scott, my seed from the licenced store only did 50% germination and a bit of a hit to my confidence at starting seeds. My other testers went almost 100%. Seeds need proper storage, age limits, phytosanitary testing, germination rates and lord knows what else. There is human error but $10 + a seed sure leaves room for shady stuff.
10% in the water you soak your seeds in.
Same with paper towel.
It'll help pop seeds.
Stay safe
