Curious to know if Rusticas germ faster than others.
I can't say my germination rates for rusticas are 48, but they do germ faster than the other tobaccums I germed at the same time.
Reason for bringing this up is a grow out strain that I'm working on, C-918 . Germed much faster than the other 3 strains that I'm working on. All the strains I am told are tobaccum, but the germ rate of this particular one has me intrigued. To add, the radicle; stalk of the germed seed, is much longer, and thicker than any other tobaccum/rustica seed that I have germed.
Exactly, but germinated with the characteristics of a Rustica. Weird.C-918 is said to be a cigar wrapper (shade-grown) variety. I have no other info on it. Bob
