Compare cost per plant across seed packs, singles, and clones. Factor in germination rates and see which option actually saves you money.
Pack pricing almost always wins. A 3-pack at $45 ($15/seed) vs singles at $18 each — you'd think singles are close, but factor in germination rate and free seeds from Multiverse Beans, and packs pull ahead fast.
Germination guarantee changes the math. When a seed bank guarantees germination (like we do), your effective cost per plant drops because failed seeds get replaced. Without a guarantee, that $18 seed that doesn't pop is just $18 gone.
Clones seem cheap but add up. $10–$20 per clone sounds great, but they can carry pests, diseases, and pathogens. One infested clone can wipe an entire grow room. Seeds start clean every time.
