Gonna have to try this seed scratching thing. Put three strain seeds in at the same time three seeds each. Everything popped except two of the dosidos. Been trying to pop two more with little luck. 1 of 7 so far. I’m thinking now it’s the seeds but I haven’t scratched any of my seeds prior to popping them and will try this tomorrow if the current two in the glass don’t pop. I bought the seeds from ILGM and have been in contact with them. They stand behind their products and are working with me thru my seed issues. I have no complaints with their customer service. may have to accept the fact that I may only have one dosido in this grow as the other seedlings have already been planted in solo cups.Pulling up a chair.
I remember somebody that use to line the inside of a matchbox with sandpaper and put the seeds it the box and shake it to scuff their seeds.

It can make a huge difference in germinating success! I scratch/scuff all of my seeds now.Gonna have to try this seed scratching thing. Put three strain seeds in at the same time three seeds each.

Some call it the finger test before you have dinnerBut do you scratch and sniff.
I saw one seed outfit selling a seed cracker, sort of like a nutcracker. You screw in until crack!Yes in Deed
- Seed Scarification: nicking, breaking, softening, or otherwise weakening of the seed coating meant to speed up germination. You can see the hard, almost walnut-like seed coating on these Nasturtium seeds. For best germination, you can scuff the outer coating and soak the seeds overnight before planting.
Ok next time I pop seeds I will scratch them up a bit. Turns out when I checked the last two dosidos in the glass today, they finally popped so I’m back in the game just two of the plants will be a couple weeks behind.It can make a huge difference in germinating success!
