seeds differ in colour and size from strain to strain. going (like yours from a light tan) to striped to dark black.
they also differ in size from a full half cm to as small as 2-3 mm.
this depends mainly on genetics. personally ive never had WW seeds so i couldnt tell you. but you raised a good point. i'm going to edit the evidence room form to include seed colour and size.
anyway. so long as the seed looks full and heavy you should be ok, they usually have a look to them like they are ready to burst open. if it is any way wrinkled or dry and empty then worry. if not try popping em.

Wow what strains are that big as normal

Aussy term refers to any weed that is grown basically wild, as in, outdoors, natural water from the rain, normal original dirt wherever is good to hide it.
It's potent, sticky and usually pretty dense.
Dense as in you look at it and think you're getting a gram when it's really about 3 grams.

yep, thats the stuff.
its also usually sativa. theres no real real strain distinction here in aus. like your definition obviously shows. but there are local strains. grown for generations by small time farmers and growers. usually sativas. large powerfull sativas probably originating in SE asia...a breeders paradise in strains ans flavours. like an uncharted ocean.
anyway, this lot is from the same bag.

As long as they aren't white... and even then.
The same plant can produce a multitude of seed sizes and colors.
I'd be more concerned if the 'store-bought-beans' varied widely
in size and color..
