You should start many seeds and cull. If it is a hybrid. Never know
what may come of them.

I did a quick germination test. One of two trays. One variety in
each row. Row three through 6, 2-3 seeds per cell. Boom, done.
I actually forgot about them and gave them a shower in the sink.
90%. Saved only 6 for Winter growing. Rest into the compost.

Tomato seeds/seedlings do not need babysitting. Recipe for disaster. You
could even use sterilized soil from your yard baked in an oven.
Some of these are out on the deck table in a heap...no water,
roots exposed and dry as a bone and still alive. A week later.

You might just be way over-thinking this.
Hi..Yes they are Hybrids and I was fully aware I could have problems ..Not knowing what Ii would get was what I was told but "blind"..I never reckoned on that...I do not think the seller is selling fresh seeds...they may be old seeds mixed with some new ones ...All I know is something is not right ...
