Alien-Thanks for responding here with the better responses. I didn't know that there was recourse for me by returning packaging and ungermed seeds. You omitted that from your "bad luck" email,(although I mentioned I retained all!) which was enough to put me buying seeds elsewhere (luv free enterprise). Finally got my bubbleberry and they germed 100%. I'm really sad it turned out negative for me at Alien, but lucky that there are many other outlets to purchase seeds and have been lucky many times before the dead alien(sag) bubbleberry.:jointsmile:
