Germination rate question

tgplp · January 24, 2011

I've got a question that probably is a dumb one but... If you've kept seeds for a while and only say, 3 out of 10 germinate or something, will these plants be weaker than they would have been with fresh seed? Or would they just have a hard time germinating? Thanks!!!

My experience has been yes to both your questions.
