I threw some Ortega OP seeds into a bag a couple days ago and I had germination in 36 hours. I hadn't ever had anything quite that quick. Thought I'd ask what the longest and shortest germination rates you've come across, and who they were, if you remember.
I also found that I had some oriental seeds that actually put up a leaf, after making the little bulb, without a refrigeration cycle. It's a few in a batch of a cross. But indeed it is great when you don't have to do that extra waiting! Especially for the impatient, like me
