I collect tens of thousands of tomato seeds per year. It doesn't matter to me if any particular seed lives or dies. I'm not worried about wasting a seed. I usually start tomatoes in a large pot densely planted. I cull about half of the quick-germinating seeds while potting-up. The slow germinating seeds all get culled. Then they also get culled because of frost, or bugs, or blossom end rot, or failure to thrive.

I am curious if you have seen a progressively lower percentage of Helmut head germination eince you have been doing this.
