Seed wasn't popping so i scraped it and took a chunck out of shell

Patience is a virtue... Just sink it in 1part h2o2 4 parts water for 24 hours. Then put it into a rapid rooter, kept moist, but not soaked. in a humidity dome under a littlebitta light. If it's not out in 10 days, move on. No need for all this scarring and fucking of the seeds.

I never understood that. You need the plant to put forth effort so it doesn't break ground looking like a bag of twizzler dicks. And if you squeeze it wrong, I would think it could destroy the tap. As long as it works for you, I suppose.

Hydrogen peroxide? Is that safe? I dunno, never considered using it. I'd imagine it isn't smart in organics.

Safe but not needed, big no no in organics.

It's bug protection and a little bit of oxygen to the roots never hurts

H2O2 is not for organics, put some on your skin it will turn it white.

it was in the shot glass for 24 hours and then it sunk so i left it there 48 hours usally the tap root starts to pop out then, i put it in the damp paper towl until the tap root gets a bit longer but this time no tap root in water so i desided to put it in the towl after about 3 days nothing.So i tried the sand paper mephod and still nothing then i rembered before when i scrached a seed and took a thin layer of the husk casing and the she popped but this time i guess i was to harsh. Any way starting a new seed now Blue cheese

Popping a seed is the easiest thing i ever done, easily 99.99999% success. If your not achieving these results your seriously doing somthing wrong.

I put my seeds in the media, water, then wait, controvercial I know, but it actually does work

i'v had 100% in the passed doing exactly what i have alway done it was just some seeds here and there

A seed thats viable and worth growing would never require our help to emerge from its shell. Cept of course to apply the mighty catalyst ( a little water )

Im ace at any germination method but i choose to soak the seed till it cracks ever so slightly then plant and ignore it till its germinated above soil. I use the same method with rockwool, soil, fleximix rapid rooters and coco.
