Urb works good too. If urb doesnt work try Ga3I've got some 30 year plus beans that i can't get to germ. Another member recommended URB Natural.
I've already tried H2O2 without any luck.

I tried it on a few of the autos. 250 ppm and still no crack after 48 hour soak.Gibberellic acid can help to pop old seeds, just watch for the stretch. Can also use it to reverse female plants, its handy stuff to have around.
Crack them yourself. Let em soak until they sink. And once they sink let em set for 12 more hours pull em out crack em with tweezers or your fingers. Be careful not smash them jus till it cracks. Throw it back in the water for 24hrs. Itll germ if its viable at all. I've had to crack several like that. My keeper cut of Cookies n Chem was like that. I had to crack it with tweezers.I tried it on a few of the autos. 250 ppm and still no crack after 48 hour soak.
Good info. I saw... I forget but one of the seedbaks/breeders on IG uses something called a seed cracker. I've asked twice on the thread what that was....no responseCrack them yourself.

Woodshed is name. I have one. Jus a piece of alum with a thread bolt down into it. With a opening to see the seed. So you can stop when it cracks open. Just to let water in.Good info. I saw...

I was looking into one of those yesterday LOL. He told me theyre $45 a piece. I didnt get one because I cracked them auto seeds by using sand paper and surgically opening the hard shell. Still didnt germinate either.Good info. I saw... I forget but one of the seedbaks/breeders on IG uses something called a seed cracker. I've asked twice on the thread what that was....no response
If it cracked and you didnt smash the embryo and it still didnt germ. The seed isnt viable at all. Plain n simple.I was looking into one of those yesterday LOL. He told me theyre $45 a piece.

Pretty ingenious. Bet he's making a pretty penny off of those. WT do you use yours? Or do you find it's better to do it the way Bakersfield scuffing & cracking did it after regular germination techs don't work.....soak,papertowel, etc.Woodshed is name. I have one.

He sells them.

I had to do this with my last Hurkle seed, cracked it and tap root was out in 12 hrs.Crack them yourself. Let em soak until they sink. And once they sink let em set for 12 more hours pull em out crack em with tweezers or your fingers. Be careful not smash them jus till it cracks. Throw it back in the water for 24hrs. Itll germ if its viable at all. I've had to crack several like that. My keeper cut of Cookies n Chem was like that. I had to crack it with tweezers.
I got it when he first started them. I got mine for free. Me n him swap beans alot. I've used it a couple times. Usually I if a seed needs cracked I have tweezers out already anyway to get it out the water. Bc you dont wanna stick your dirty fingers in the water. I grab em out with tweezers. And I usually jus crack em right then n there. And forget I even have it. Then after I crack it. I'm usually like damn I couldve used my cracker.Pretty ingenious.

I've used that too. It works on stubborn beans. Atleast helps anyway.Another little trick is to put it in a freezer for a few days. Let it thaw out a day or 2 and then try to pop it as you normally would. I suppose it is trying to mimic season change.
Chem 91 is the original chem cut. Most people that have experienced the real cuts consider the Chem 91 the best. Chem 91 Skunk VA refers to the real Chem 91 cut. It’s called the Skunk VA cut because there are a lot of fake Chem 91s going around, the real deal was held onto by the grower/breeder Skunk VA. There is no Chem 94 cut. So either you’re mistaken, or it was mislabeled, or it’s a cross that someone named Chem 94.What's the difference between the chem 94, chem 91, chem skunkva?
I've been growing the chem94 for sometime now. Very stretchy plant and much more difficult to grow than other strains. Very finicky and requires much more CalMag than normal.
Chem 4 maybe?What's the difference between the chem 94, chem 91, chem skunkva?

I jus finished a chem 91 s1. It was also stretchy, calmag whore, and was super bitchy with nutes.What's the difference between the chem 94, chem 91, chem skunkva?

Meant to say chem 4 cut.Chem 91 is the original chem cut. Most people that have experienced the real cuts consider the Chem 91 the best. Chem 91 Skunk VA refers to the real Chem 91 cut.
