Really. If you only get say 10 then just germ 2 more. They don't take long to germ and to see if they'll germ and grow.

IMO plant more than you plan to grow, better to have more and a choice/selection in the most healthy plants. Some may not germinate, some may be genetically superior and more vigorous than others. I say plant more than you need so you have plenty to work with in case something goes wrong.
it really depends on how much space time and guts you have, if you have a lot of each then you should pop as many as you can.
if you gots the seed, ^^^
...and if you make your own with colloidal silver, you never worry about male/female ratio.
keep it green.

for 12 plants i'd grow say 15-20 female seed's ,this allows for any none germ's or weak plants. pick the best 12.
for regular seeds do at least double what you need, so 25 -30 seeds, then select out any males and weaker plants.
you could always just pop 12 and cross fingers and toes.

I started out growing 1/2 pks. but before long I'd been stock-piling beans and realized I should just go for it.
I haven't bought seeds in yrs, being busy w/ hobby breeding and swapping gear w/ like-minded friends.
Now I pop as many as I can, get ruthless in thinning them out. Getting the best plants possible is my #1 priority when growing from seed, and the more you can look at, the better. Also makes you a better grower, learning what to look for @ as many plants as you can.
