here are the latest results from the lab at MegaGro:

www.megagro.com/big/webpage.cfm?webpage_id=84&DID=6

the seeds which i sent them were from my 250.5 Gerry '04 fruit, (794 Wronski X 950.4 Boyton), and since i had a large number of seeds and they sprouted nicely in my own
season's-end germination test, well, i sent them twenty
seeds to experiment on in their lab. they did a filed-seed
test, a soaked-for-24-hours-in-water-and-then-placed-in-SpeedSprout test, a snipped-all-the-way-around-the-seed-coat
test, and a control group test, where nothing was done to the seeds before being placed into SpeedSprout.
KEY:::::the seeds were reportedly sprouted at about 74 degrees F. the seeds were sprouted flat on a table or similar in the SpeedSprout packets, which were label side up, therefore they were in reasonable darkness, which may have something to do with their enthusiasm to sprout....they may take slightly longer to sprout than with the conventional methods, but if the chance for rot or damping off or whatever is minimized, it is well worth it to give this product a try! i will now be doing more germination testing on my own seeds with more SpeedSprout. eg
