more I know the dumber I feel
So, some bad news. Seeds aren’t popping. None of them.
They are currently between two damp/little more then damp folded paper towels in a container I’ve used for poppin seeds for years now. It’s not air tight but light proof. So they have been sitting there since the 11th in a climate of 76-79. And nothing. Usually I’d see a little crack by now.
Any advice from here on forward? Any tricks or tips? I know not all were going to pop but none?
(I’m sure some of you will get a kick out of this)

I didn’t try scruffiness them. I pre soaked them for 12 hours and then right into paper towels. Not sure if I should do any scuffing when they are somewhat saturated.Have you tried scuffing the seed ?
Fulvic acid ?
Or carbonated water ?
That’s the filvic acid do? And how is it used?Have you tried scuffing the seed ?
Fulvic acid ?

Same question I asked naivecon, what’s the acid do and how do you go about using it?Gibberellic Acid
That’s the filvic acid do? And how is it used?
Thanks
I did a hydrogen peroxide/water soak before hand but I’m assuming for not long enough. Should I pull them back out and do another soak?Try one teaspoon per liter of water.
Gibberellic will work as well I think it's a little bit stronger then fulvic.
You could also try carbonated water with a little more oxygen. But I think you just got to let the seeds soak in a container first for a good day or two before you try paper towel.
You have to get that shell to soften up
Do they stink?
I’m wondering if I should resort to that method or just try soaking them over night. I’m guessing you can’t soak for days on end or you will suffocate the seed. I don’t have any fulvic acid on hand at the moment. HmmmmI don't think that really matters, does it ?
I soak seeds in pH,d water with a tad bit of peroxide until tails pop,
I also have some seeds from the mid-70s, the peroxide trick did not work so I'm going to up my game with a type of acid.
You may not have soaked your seeds long enough @BeeRaasta but you may have to move up to the next step as well.
