agreed, i was so mad when i bought 5+ gold packs last year and used them asap but they were super old and my guess misstored (brotanical) it was 75% off sale. almost 0% results but at same germ hunt my own seeds/new packs np. so it was obvious the old packs were def not even worth it at 75%. they should and many def warn ya and put even dates of packs when they got em.
Over winter ran about 500 old seeds, 4 or more yrs old that were properly stored in dedicated fridge, soaked in 1% h202, and still only got about 5 % germination rate, and that was some previously opened and never opened packs, old seeds suck, and I had some beautiful stuff, bought so much back then, all to waste now. Haven't bought seeds in over a year and a half, don't plan on using seeds much anymore except on a 5 x 5 area. Seeds imo are a waste of energy and time, but are fun to grow out and see phenotypical diversity. So easy to buy breeder cuts and use properly dried frozen pollen for breeding projects.
