salee shop 30 Seeds Bitter Gourd Seeds, Chinese Bitter Gourd

HALF OF THE PRODUCT ARE HOLLOW OR DUD, THIS SEED WILL NOT GROW. BAD QUALITY PRODUCT . PLEASE CONTACT ME THEY WERE PROBALE DURING DELIVERY

so far some of the seeds have sprouted, waiting for all seeds to sprout and plants to grow tp fruit bearing size before I can provided with a full review.

I try this kind of seeds many times but fail. This is the only one time I got sprout from seeding. I used the method so call winter sawing in milk carton.

These seeds did not sprout and I am not a novice at starting seeds. I direct sow only those seeds that don't transplant well (e.g. carrots, spinach) and have been starting seeds for 20+ years. I tried 2 different techniques. In both, I soaked for 48 hours and used a seed heating pad. The difference in the 2 approaches is that I peeled the brown layer off vs. just planting the whole seed after soaking. Neither approach worked. Not a single seed sprouted. The supplier for my seeds was SpicesWorld. As I am writing this, the supplier is different. Seeds from SpicesWorld shipped from India.

In my earlier review below I was critical: But I was wrong. The method I used to grow seedling was not appropriate for the seeds I got. I found a new method and used the proper temperature. And the remaining seeds I got had 80% germinations. In fact I already ordered seeds from another seller before I found the new method from the Internet. I should've read the reviews first which show very low rating. I did everything possible as others did, nothing spouted. All is done inside my house, so cold weather is not an issue. I tried to break a couple seeds & nothing is inside but dried stuff. Some if you squeeze you feel nothing is inside. What a waste of money. It's hard to understand why some merchants don't care what they sell as long as they get the money. This is not Amazon's fault but things like this should be stopped in the market.

Followed the instructions to germinate these seeds. Soaked for 24 hours. Lightly scarred the surface. Put in wet paper towel to germinate. Not happening, nothing is germinating. The house temp is 72 degrees. Plus I did not get 30 full seeds. The seeds were delivered in bubble packaging, so I assume they were either very dry and dead or they were crushed during the original packaging or storage. Maybe old stock sold as new?
