dark seeds..?

Hey everyone,


I have 7 black seeds... now i dont know what that means but i had them in a moist towle for about a week and 3 days now and all of them 7 seeds did not like germinate... but all my other seeds that were in a different mosit towel did.... does this mean all thoese black 7 seeds are bad or... what?

Shiny, very dark brown or black seeds often mean the contents are fermented and the embryo is dead.

I read just yesterday that you can sand down the outer part of your seeds with sand paper to trigger germination. Wait to see what other people write and check into what I am talking about. If you decide to try it, a little goes a long way.
