- Fai G.Verified ReviewerRated 2 out of 5 stars4/5/26Hopefully my first instincts are wrong.
First off $2.99 for 1.5 Grams is excessive. I soaked them in water the night before as recommended, half of the seeds floated. After submerging them and letting them soak for 24 hours less than half have sprout it. Four seeds were six times as big as the other seeds. I can only believe that since this is a weight based system that resulted in me getting far fewer seeds
