Thanks, Quinn Hello CPC network, We need to restock our supply of filter paper for germination experiments and noticed that there are several seed germination substrate alternatives on the market - specifically seed germination paper and seed germination blotters. For example - http://anchorpaper.com/index.php/seed-solutions/…. I'd be interested to hear any thoughts and opinions based on your experience with using any of these substrates in germination experiments compared to using filter paper. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
