Any more experience from anybody with lucky number slevin or turquoise jeep? Seems like everybody on here tried the same four or five strains lol I'm hoping for better luck with these two
If they never fracked maybe they need to be scuffed or sliced with razor down edge to help crack. I e had a couple crosses do this on me would literally not crack after days of trying to germ and slice with razor on the edge resoak and they crack open. Some crosses have some really really hard beans that need help. I also do paper towel method with seeds I know are like this and set on my cable box for the warmth. Helps tough ones germSo none of my kookies popped. What do?
Yea I do the paper towel method too. I'm also germing some fruit punch and the MWS GSC and all those have long ass tap roots already.If they never fracked maybe they need to be scuffed or sliced with razor down edge to help crack.

Yea I take the razor to the side where the both meet but will slice around the sides of it too just in case it can't crack from thereYea I do the paper towel method too. I'm also germing some fruit punch and the MWS GSC and all those have long ass tap roots already.
Which edge do I take the razor to? The seam in the middle between the 2 sides of the shell?
Just also seen another post my bro @BigLittlejohn posted and it said try using emery board too. That should be good to use too if no sandpaper to scuffYea I do the paper towel method too. I'm also germing some fruit punch and the MWS GSC and all those have long ass tap roots already.

emery board LOL. So scientific! Just call it a nail file!Yea an emory board is perfect. It is the perfect size to handle the bean gently.
James you must have the steady hands & eyes of a brain surgeon to cut the seed like that? my clumsy fingers cant do that or scuff beans..just too damn small to hold on to, so its just the ideal germination conditions such as warmth & dampness i can use...if they dont germ then then....Yea I take the razor to the side where the both meet but will slice around the sides of it too just in case it can't crack from there
Lol naw not really if you can hold bean over the sharp razor and just move it across it should do. Hell I've heard people that crack them with their teeth slightly lol. I couldn't do that would crush everyone of themJames you must have the steady hands & eyes of a brain surgeon to cut the seed like that? my clumsy fingers cant do that or scuff beans..just too damn small to hold on to, so its just the ideal germination conditions such as warmth & dampness i can use...if they dont germ then then....
Not to be a pedantic asshole but they are two different things. The nail file has the emory piece to it but is typically metal and pointed on one end. The emory board is all wood with the low grade sand paper built into it. Either will work to scuff seeds though. lolemery board LOL. So scientific! Just call it a nail file!
Do tell the secret bro and I'm being serious. I have run into seeds that won't crack unless scuffed or sliced so any tips would be very helpful. I'm not really a fan of heat may have heard too many seedlings getting fried and I don't wanna take that chance.... And neither are necessary.. Scuffing seeds is a completely unnecessary practice
Well... Idk lol...i have a high ninety something percent success rate without doing that. Only beans not to crack in last five grows - th seeds hog freebie, one of six g13 giga bud, and a couple white skunk out of an olllld pack. Maybe had to do with methods, maybe had to do with will power. If you believe something must happen, enter your mind into it, it will happen hence the placebo effect, double slit experiment, etc. I go into germination believing the most seeds I can get that won't pop is one. Except the old pack I had thoughts like maybe they are expired maybe only some pop and sure enough...Do tell the secret bro and I'm being serious.
