Just getting started, and seeds are sprouting fast.
As you look at the photo, you can see that I labeled each section, with its anticipated, germination date. Everything germinated faster than it said it would. The seeds in this photo were planted 16 days ago.This is my first time doing hydroponics, and I didn’t know how many seeds to plant, so I put five in each little hole. It looks like all of them did really well. The sage is far behind everything else, however, it wasn’t supposed to germinate for 21 days, so I’m still happy.I appreciated included instruction book to tell me information about harvesting. I also like the big labels, where I was able to write on all of the information about the planting and harvesting.I like the seeds, and I would buy this brand again.

How to grow successful plants
I've been sprouting these seeds for 2 weeks now; I planted 4 of each in rockwool cubes in a tray over a heat pad on low. Except cilantro - I planted 10 of because I've had issues sprouting cilantro in the past. (Btw for folks who aren't aware; coriander is the culinary name for a cilantro seed. They are the same thing.) Most of the sprouts came through within a couple of days to a week. Well today, at the 2 week mark, I finally got a cilantro sprout! Time will tell if more come through. I keep a watering can nearby and add 1/4" water to the tray daily. Once the first leaves on the sprouts wane and the true leaves appear I will begin adding fertilizer. At this point I also put a fan on the sprouts to make them hardier. Once the roots poke through the bottom of the cubes they will be ready for me to transplant to my indoor herb garden. For anyone who wants to plant them outdoors - after the roots poke through, begin placing them outside once a day starting at an hour and increasing by an hour each day until at 24 hours they are ready to transplant. This process will work for any seed.

Great success in hydroponic.
Tried to plant them in peat, but had poor results. Friend gave me a hydroponic system and I've had great results with most of the seeds. Once germinated and roots are established, I transition to a single hydroponic pot to strengthen the roots and get the plant acclimated to sunlight. Then I transition to soil. Have had great results. The only seed I've had poor results with is the cilantro. Not sure why. Would buy again, but there are so many seeds it will be awhile before I run out.

I love it
Lots of seeds. They smell great and seem fresh. Some germinated very quickly, some have not. Be patient, mother nature takes her time. Research the plant and see how long they are supposed to take before a bad review. After a couple weeks I already have many little sprouts. I rushed them by starting them in ziplock bags with a damp paper towel. Blow air in the bag and seal it then place on a sunny window sill. Dont open until you see babies or the air comes out.

Herbs Gone Wild! Hydroponic Action!
Most of what you see here came out of these seeds. It took a little trial and error to sprout them all. Best way I found is to put a piece of paper towel on top of media in your hydroponic set up so that towel stays moist. Put the seeds on top of the towel and just leave them alone. They will root right through the towel.)Patience is rewarded as some of the herbs sprout and grow more slowly than others. For mint I found just using cuttings from the grocery store works great, so that is what you see in the picture. The Basil goes very slow but is starting to take off. Parsley is out of control. all the others doing OK as long as I keep the parsley and cilantro and dill cut back so they can get some light. Great seeds.

Service is good, seeds meh.. alright
First order, i think i lost the lavendar, so they were prompt to replace it.Was waiting for a month to see how the seeds come up before writing a review.Sage - great - 90% germinationCilantro- great - 90% germinationDill - great - 90% germinationBasil - great - 90% germinationMint- great - 90% germinationThyme - ok - 50% germinationOregano - ok - 50% germinationParsley - ok - 50% germinationLavender -bad - got only 1 seedlingRosemary - bad- got only 4 seedlingsChive, Arugula - did not use them.I feel number of seeds are very less compared to what's advertised. It was worth a shot.

Above “ground” in less than a week!
The media could not be loaded. I have a hydroponic grower that I also got from Amazon and it’s amazing (iD00 if anyone is interested) but these seeds are also tough and eager! I have the least-green thumb in the planet. I’m constantly killing succulents and getting mold on my spouts somehow, etc. and those are super easy to grow! They’ve already sprouted healthy plants up through the sponge hole in less than a week! These guys are fighters for sure. You can’t see the dill sprouting up much in the picture, but the seeds have cracked open and show a little guy in there. Seriously awesome seeds, awesome system. I’m so stoked to have something working finally!

It's a Scam, Maybe.
Is it a scam? I opened up the single envelope to find a variety of dried out seeds and a bunch of broken baggies. the entire mess was scattered around. Shameful, but expected as selling bad seeds is one of the oldest scams in the book. Decent little planting guide came with it, but I don't have high expectations seeing as their "guide" is a paragraph summary that looks like it was copied from Wikipedia and was about the size of condom wrapper. In my fury I decided to count out all of the cilantro seeds, totaling 147. Now based on the advertising of "3600" seeds and the assumption that we get the same number of seeds per herb this leaves us 153 seeds shy of the implied 300 seeds (of course this may be a clerical error as my condom-wrapper literature congratulates me on purchasing a 15 herb pack that isn't available and still remarkably only lists 12 herbs). While I will attempt to plant these I don't have much faith in the product and I assume that any failure will be attributed by the seller to my own horticultural incompetence rather than the faulty nature of their product. Don't pay more than five bucks for it, and even then use it as a joke gift to torment an unapologetically vegan friend.
