its been dry as hell around where i live so my sister decided to boil down seeds and stems and make some tea. well she boiled it down for an hour or so. somehow i got roped into watching the pot and strainging it off while she went to pick up a prescription. so like a good older brother i did as i was asked but had no idea how she wanted to get rid of the boiled seeds and stems. i came back to the seeds and stems after about an hour to pitch the waste and the majority of the seeds had alreadt sprouted tap roots.

i think i just discovered a new rapid germination method. now i'm saying boil your precious purchased seeds, but do recommend trying it with bagseed if you got any. I picked out a few seeds to finish germinating and plan to grow them out and see if they are going to be crazy mutants or if the boiling may have forced stressed them into being all males.

here are some pics

LMAO !! Those are just boiled out of their seed, they didnt sprout lol Oh please my side hurts !! LMAO !! Plus seeds have no thc or resin so boiling them would be in vain.bongsmilie

well did they germ



also boiling weed with just plane water does not release the thc in the weed into the water
thc can only be extracted from bud using, alcohol, fat, or a vigourous bud shaking methods.

they are in a paper towel now, i'll check them later. and yes i do believe they are germing.I'll know if the taproots get any bigger. i know the difference between the husk popping from being boiled, but some have tap root growing. hell, i have a good grow going now, so this is just for me to play with. i might just be high on painkillers from my recent surgery, but oh well we shall see. its the little things that keep you sane while being stuck in the house for going on 10 months. and come on you know your kinda curious. besides it not as crazy as the "can i use sprem as a nute thread"

There arent to many "living " things that will take a boiling and live. The only thing I can think of is the worms that live next to volcano ducts miles below the seas surface LMAO !!! But I gotta give rep for the attempt.:bigjoint:bongsmilie

The following is an excerpt from a report by the Department of Landscape Architecture at Akdeniz University in Antalya, Turkey.

The seed coat treatments (mechanical scarification, boiling seeds for 4, 6, 8 and 10 minutes
and scarifying in concentrated sulfuric acid for 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 h) were tested to overcome
the seed coat impermeability and improve germination and early seedling growth characteristics of
Lupinus varius. Mechanical scarification provided rapid and highest imbibitions, germination
percentage and seedling establishment, and also the highest values of early seedling growth
characteristics. Embryos of L. varius could survive after boiling the seeds for 4, 6, 8 and 10 minutes
and final germination percentages were 68.3%, 80.0%, 71.7% and 63.3%, respectively. Boiling
treatments also improved some other germination and early seedling growth characteristics
compared with untreated seeds, but it was not completely able to overcome the seed coat
impermeability in any durations of boiling time.

Note...they were using different types of plants. I did find similar evidence suggested for hard shelled legumes as well. Whether this applies to marijuana or not, I can't say for sure...but it does look like the OP may have something to support it. ;-)

Just looking at the pics - those look like they are germinating. Interesting.
I wonder if this is simular to pine seeds only germinating after a forest fire?
I'll watch.

forcing the tap root out by way of boiling that is very interesting
if he gets them to sprout i will try this myself i hate wwaiting for seeds to germ this could take 3 or so day off the wait

Definitely, I wonder if it has to do with hastening the rate that the seed metabolizes the nutrients in its casing?

doubtful it was the boiling that did it but rather the gentle warming they popped and indeed started to germinate and then proceeded to get too hot. You can probably just get the dam heat mat and heat them gradually and get them to pop in 1-2 days and not gamble on stunted growth from fucked up tap root
