The seed has some type of skin over it. When it is exposed to moisture long enough the skin will peel off.
I always try to start in soil first. If it doesn't pop in 7 days I'll try to soak the batch in a cup of warm water but not hot & let the warm water change to room temp as the seeds soak. tap them lightly every 12 hours to see if they sink to the bottom & when they do, throw them in soil and try to keep the soil within 75-90f. If they do not sprout then you have a batch of bad seeds. Minus well try until you get one.
I'm not doubting you dude, just saying how I prefer to do it. It's just always worked best for me that way. hope you can salvage it though, good luck.
Woohoo that's awesome news, hope it all goes well for you, good luck.
That's the best way!! Keep it simple. I basically treat Mary Jane the same way I treat a tomato. Well maybe I give a little more love to my weed haha
Brown mush doesn't sound good at all. How long has it been since you planted them?
What a shame that's happened, I was actually hoping your seeds would take root, try germinating them straight into the moist soil next time and see how you get on with that, It works flawlessly every time for me, hope it works for you too, good luck.
