I put them directly into Root Riot root cubes and they pop almost every time... Only one hasn't so far and I'm sad because I only have two RIPLEY'S OG left and who knows when Mephisto USA will be open on the regular...
I usually have near 100 percent on most strains for some reason those Skywalker x cd seeds are tough lol but I'll definitely try the cubes with my remaining beans

Well I have 6 Skywalker x chocolate d not pop. I scuffed them then soaked them then paper towel method. Wondering if anyone has tried manually cracking seeds before or should I just call it quits? Thanks guys
I have scuffed a stubborn bean and got it to sprout. I used an Emery nail board. I held the bean between my pointer finger and thumb, seam of the seed facing up. I held it so when I ran the emory board across the bean it was mostly getting my fingers and just barely grazing the seam of the bean. I did this until I grazed all parts of the seam around the bean but I stay away from the base or the non pointy end of the bean. If large flakes start coming off the side of the bean, your scraping too deep/hard.

I'm not great at describing methods but I thought I'd give it a shot.

This is actually a great time/reason to throw in for freezing your beans before you germinate. 24 hours before is enough cause the seed to loose protective integrity and the embryo actually will freeze and swell causing it! This makes it easier to exit the seed case on thaw!

Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, and to everyone else I missed Happy Holidays. I really wanted to say thank you for the entire cannabis community and useful family, it gives this old disabled guy purpose, meaning, and medicine and can't put into words what it truly means(been in the Christmas edibles this morning...lol) Seriously, may you and your family's stay safe and healthy and hope for a great 2021!
