problem can and trivial to some but its realy bothers me.
With stratification and sterilization I use coffee filters.
After stratification seeds in GA3 do I need to change the filters before sterilization in NaDCC?
I should add that I'm going sterilize various types of seeds so there are a few filters and I dont want to contaminate the acid solution for sterilization and then 0.5% liquid with PPM

think you may have stratification and sterilization confused possible , may have it wrong !!
stratification is a time you give a seed to allow the seed to have it germination mode triggered EG:- Ceph seed needs all winter time in the cold so it can germinate in spring , and tuber drosera seed need summer heat to start its germination mode in winter . GA3 is some times called smoke water too , the acid GA3 is supposed to be the equal to seed that need a fire or bush fire go over them to start the germination mode.

So with T/C you are going to use stratified seed , that process is different for the sterilization of the seed . 2 very different processes.
agree many seed needs to be stratified before make an attempt to put into T/C , but not every seed needs startification as well .

so what sees are you using GA3 on , before I go any further and is this a new way you have herd of processing seed ?
