My 10k tulip bulbs are here! What to look for when sorting through bulbs + cooling info 101

My main season has started with the arrival of my 5C winter tulips! Yay!
In this video, I talk about what I do upon receiving my wholesale bulbs (and what you should do). I go through what I look for, tolerance levels for bad bulbs, and what to do if you get bad bulbs. I also talk about cooling info 101.
Interested in buy 5C tulip bulbs? These are prechilled bulbs good for winter forcing OR if you live in a mild climate without a true winter:
Mix and match up to 10 varieties for a total of 200 bulbs (good for the smaller grower who cannot buy in wholesale quanitites): www.bareflowerfarm.com/shop/p...
Buy wholesale quantities (500 in a crate): www.littlefarmhouseflowers.co...

    How long ago did you start them? When is your first frost?

    @@ElderandOakFarm around the beginning of October. I'm in z9a. We usually get our first frost sometime in late December -- or never. We may get a hard freeze for a few days in mid to late Feb -- but these are rare.

    Nooo! Still no germination? I had mine germinate in about 4 days. Did you provide them a humidity dome?

    Do you only order 5c bulbs? Have you tried to get regular ones and chill them in a cooler/fridge before you plant them?

    I order the majority of my bulbs 5c. I have chilled them myself- it’s risky and I would say I lost about 35% trying to chill on my own
