seeds

[Ruffy]

ok i put 5 big bud into luke warm water 3.5 days ago. 1 barley crack open and hasnet done anything since. other 4 are sitting on bottom of bowl, nothing. how long does this take and when do i throw em out? should be very easy lol (bad seeds ???)

I personally never use the cup of water method, I like to put mine in a wet sock and put them on top of the water heater, and dampen the sock when needed. Hasn't failed me yet. I don't know that I would toss the seeds, maybe wrap them in a sock, or paper towel and see what happens

I agree. Get them out of the water and into a medium of some sort. Seeds only have "so much" energy to expend, "IMO/E" a 24 hr soak is more than sufficient for full hydration and softening of the shell.

i agree too. soaking in water for 18-24 hrs can be great for older/dry seeds because it softens the casing and allows the baby to be born. soaking longer than than just drowns the seeds, IMHO.
