what does a good seed look like?

[stangle12]

I have a large collection of bag seed, and they vary alot by size, and color. does anybody have some good tips for selecting the best ones to plant?

[Dest]

hard, dark, and heavy

[stangle12]

but is bigger better then smaller? does anybody have a good guide to selecting seeds?

nice and brown with darker bits on them nice and fat big or small:thumbsup:

[stangle12]

lol everything is a contradiction! okay, so by darker bits, do you mean specks? i have a few seeds with specs.

i read once that you can tell if its male or female by examining the but of hte seed, but im not sure.

[xxxhazexxx]

yes specs

[stangle12]

so how can i distinguish between them?

[stangle12]

im wondering if i cann figure out which would be a good indoor plant by looking at the seeds. they all look very different.

[xxxhazexxx]

no you cant just plant them all and go with the best one:thumbsup:

i also have a bunch of bagseed that im germing. I look for the fattest/biggest seed with tiger stripes.

[stangle12]

i have a couple of those tiger stripes.

as long as the seeds are not green or white and have not been crushed they will germ just fine unless there very old ie many many years and evan then some could still germ or if they have been cracked awhile and just sitting around
