Seeds sold by the M (1000 seeds)

We have seed counts for each individual lot sold by the M (1000 seed). We use sophisticated counting machines and a statistical process co developed with the University of California, Santa Barbara which provides mean and standard deviations calculation for 1000 seeds. LMCS counts 10 samples of seed (100 to 1000 seeds/sample depending on sample size) and determines the mean and standard deviation. LMCS Seeds sales are final based on LMCS’s Seed’s seed count for all seeds sold by the 1000 seed count.

Seeds sold by the Lb. or Oz.

Estimated number of seeds per Oz sold is shown in the catalog and on our website. LMCS Seeds does not guarantee the seed count per ounce and these counts should be used as a guideline only. LMCS usually determine a Mean and Standard Deviation one time for a typical batch and publish that seed count for an Oz. of seed.
