That is not a good sign if air has entered the seed. The embryo is more than likely already dried up and dead. Keep hoping....faithfulmastiff

ok brief decription of setup.... oh btw light was raised just for picture purposes, anyway...
got a light fitting which holds 5 bulbs, right now theres 5 x 26 watt 6500k cfl's, & 4 x 225 bulb led's, mixed red & blue, (2700k bulbs ready for flower), ebb & flow tray for flower, but still using same tray have another line run from res & setup for drip system for veg, theres 10 gal res under shelf with airstones & pump, at top there a 135 cfm inline canfan with carbon scrubber venting through floor & intake low level, i made a monster light which was constructed from 4" solid duct, 3 pieces riveted together & it held 12 x cfl's, unfortunately this raised my temps to 105 so that light came out for now, post better pics soon.

couple more pics, criticise away if need be, constructive preferably & not a bashing please....lol, theres a basic pic of my super cfl light fitting, works a charm, but its supprising how much heat 12 cfl's produce.

@faithful, might want to start your own thread on your grow. Probably a better place to post your pics and whatnot. Interesting setup, would like to see what happens.
So, back on floating seeds. Should they eventually sink to the bottom on their own? I've always been too impatient and will shake the glass after a while until they break the surface.

jimbro, i tapped the seeds a few times as serapis suggested & they sank, only reason i put few pics on here was only because i was growing the TD too & i thought we were sharing

I let them soak 24 more hours and this time placed them in peat pellets in a tray, under a black cover, on a heating pad....

Tangerine Dream received and germed on 1/22/2011 I only germed 2 because of all the neg feedback, out of the 2 one was viable and produced a seedling sprout on the 26th of Jan. which I transplanted to the hydro system on day 1 and started the vegatative phase on 1/26/2011
these are pics from today at day 30 from germination and day 15 from switch to 12/12 they were just short of 2 weeks in veg but had to switch for the other 2 Blueberry Gum which were ready for switch to 12/12 would have vegged her longer but space is limited and dont have room for separate veg and flower.Anyway her actual height is roughly 11"s undergoing LST to bring her into more direct light even at this stage underdeveloped the smell is unbelievable and the sativa phenotype is very distinct.Best of luck to any who try this strain not recommended for first timers LOL very precise and specific and my opinion still a bit unstable genetics(one thing not perfect no results) so if you give this strain a shot be prepared for disappointment and on your A game lots of luck

of my 2 TD seeds - 1 was small with hardly any spotting/striping at all. the other was 2x bigger but had a small deformity on the seed (otherwise normal looking). 24hr pre-soak and 6 days in soil one finally popped (the bigger one) - the shell casing on these are hard/tough ... I had to help pry the casing in half so the petioles could spread out, otherwise I doubt she could have done it on her own.
so-so luck on the other beans as well. both corleone kush popped ok, but nothing else so far (4 others). but I have a lot more on the way from smaller known breeders directly. i think I'll avoid the big stores for the most part now.
Serapis - I assume no positive news yet? How are the Vanilla's looking?

Hey serapis! Hope you don't mind me dropping by a short update...
Anyway, transplanted a few days ago... Everything went fine... they slid into their pre-packed holes in the soil, and were covered fine... they took to their new homes within the day and are now starting to get some reallly nice growth
I ended up watering with 3.5mL root 66, 1mL MagiCal, & 1mL ThriveAlive [organic] (as per your suggestion)... They bounced back really well, actually seemed to grow a bit the day of the transplant
My GE MH bulb just didn't start up one day, so I was forced to return it & buy a hortilux blue MH.. I'm really satisfied with the Hortilux though! I have a Super HPS for flower too..
Here's a pic
edit: day 19
@ the retard on the bottom left, should be interesting
