Most seed that you buy is already stratified, meaning that it has spent 12 months buried in sand. If you buy stratified seed in the fall, it will sprout the following spring.

If a grower collects his own seed, it can easily be stratified at home, for planting in 18 months.

Stratified seed runs around $100-$120 a pound, which is approx 7200 seeds.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
