Pour water where ya think it went and put a light on it. Easier to find when it sprouts.

lol just joking.

I am still looking for a trainwreck seed i dropped on hardwood floors. It was a pack of 5 that i dropped when it was open. Found 4 the other just disappeared.

Lol i seriously had that thought to water the carpet and see where it grows LMAO

Also @heathen thats weird i just whipped out my Blue dream and Trainwreck seeds that i just planted 10 min ago. I got the trainwreck in but then i pulled out the bluedream and kerplunk into the carpet -_- oh well i still have 1 bean left of it. Good news i have all my seeds planted for this outdoor season.

I just tried the vacuum and pulling out the bag and dumping it out no luck its lost

EDIT: Found the son of a gun! Hiding next to my subwoofer

Of course, get the vacuum put some women's pantyhose over the end, of the hose, in a single layer. The seed is to small to go through but the suction will pick up everything. Now let's hope you vacuumed enough that you won't be stopping every 3 seconds to clean Doritos detritus off the nylon covering the end of the hose, LOL.

My heart is with the static electricity balloon. But my guess is if it's a viable seed a simple balloon in a regular humidity environment will not work. But hey let us know if it does.

Giggles please put on a fright wig and you need to curl one into a puppy balloon and the other into a kitty balloon and you need one on each side. OOPs and we MUST HAVE PICS!

Set a flashlight on the floor and get your eye as close to floor level. Move the light slowly. Everything stands out like a sore thumb.

....drop another seed and watch where it goes. Murphy's other law says it will find it's brother.

get your hoover / vacuum cleaner, and a piece of panty. take of the nozzle by the handbar and wrap the panty over it, and place the nozzle back.

This should get you a filter.

Hoover mostly where you think you dropped it, and stop every 5 minutes to clean the panty filter and check if you found it..
