So here is a new topic…

I am planting seeds from the same variety that are advertised as producing singles, semi-doubles and doubles

I think I read that there are times that the shape of a seed will indicate which of the seeds will likely produce singles or doubles. Is my understanding correct and is there any reference here including photos?

So that is my first question. My second question…

Can a seed be affected by a growing method to the point that it produces singles rather than doubles. In other words can I mess up a seed so it only produces singles or can I do something to the seeds where they will produce mostly doubles?

I suppose the question should be when a seed is harvested is it already in the genes that it will be a single or double?
