Seed Identifier: Grow Guide

Milad Atef

About this app

Seed Identifier reads one photo of a seed and returns what it grows into, how deep to sow it, how many days to sprout, and the soil temperature it wants.

The seed scanner reads it the way a grower would: shape and true size against anything in frame, coat texture and the hilum scar, color and markings.

WHAT ONE PHOTO GIVES YOU
• A one line grow summary: sow depth, days to sprout, light or temperature
• The common name of what it grows into, plus the scientific name or genus
• Soil temperature for germination, and any soaking, nicking or chilling first
• Sowing season, and days from sowing to harvest or first bloom
• Sunlight, watering, spacing and depth, USDA hardiness zones, storage life
• Growing tips, the markers that separate look-alike seeds, a confidence score

THE GROW SUMMARY LEADS THE RESULT
The seed in your hand came out of a jar, a swap bag, or a packet that lost its face, and two questions follow: what is it, and what do I do with it. The grow summary answers the second one in a card under the name, with the full grow guide below it: depth, days to sprout, sunlight.

IT ANSWERS AT THE LEVEL THE PHOTO SUPPORTS
Bare seeds of related species look identical. Cabbage, kale and broccoli seed are small dark spheres of the same size, and no photograph separates them. So are squashes, many beans and lettuces. When the image cannot carry a species, the app answers at family or genus level, lowers its confidence, and says what to check on the packet. It does not invent a cultivar to look precise. Dyed or pelleted seed hides the coat the model reads, so confidence drops and the result says why. A photo that is not a seed comes back low confidence and says what it is.

SOAKING, NICKING AND WEEKS OF COLD
Soil temperature and pre sow treatment decide whether a batch sprouts, so each gets its own row. Seed that wants a night in water. Seed whose hard coat has to be nicked. Seed that needs weeks of cold stratification to break dormancy. Seed that needs light and has to sit uncovered.

A WHOLE BOX OF UNLABELED SEED
Saved seed, an heirloom variety out of a swap bag, the envelope in a drawer. Every scan is saved on your device with its photograph, so a box can be worked through a seed at a time. A coin in the frame helps it judge size. No account.

ASK ABOUT THE SEED YOU JUST SCANNED
Every result opens a conversation scoped to seeds, sowing and germination: depth and soil temperature, telling look-alike seeds apart, scarifying and stratifying, the paper towel test, damping off and hardening off. It stays on seeds and says so when a question belongs elsewhere.

WHO IT IS FOR
• Gardeners holding seed that lost its label
• Seed savers and swap participants checking what arrived
• Beginners who have the seed and not yet the vocabulary
• Community garden and small farm growers with mixed seed
• Parents and teachers running a germination project on a paper towel

HONEST ABOUT WHAT A PHOTO CAN DO
Identification and growing advice here are AI estimates from your photo, not a substitute for the seed packet, a nursery, or an agricultural extension office. Bare seeds of related species can look identical, so the app answers at the level the photo supports and tells you when to check the packet. Do not eat, taste, or plant anything based on this identification alone. Some seeds and plants are toxic to people or pets, and some species are invasive or regulated where you live. Storage life is how long that species normally keeps, not a test of the seed in your photograph. Growing times and temperatures are ranges that shift with climate, variety and seed age. Keep seed you cannot identify away from children and pets.

Identification needs an internet connection. Scans you have already saved stay on your device and can be reopened at any time.

The app interface and the results are available in 33 languages.
