Germination — Seed Germination Reference
Quick-reference skill for seed germination science, testing, and practical growing.
When to Use
- Planning seed starting schedules for crops
- Troubleshooting poor germination rates
- Breaking seed dormancy with scarification or stratification
- Running germination tests to evaluate seed viability
- Optimizing temperature and moisture for emergence
