I have encountered this issue every year for the last 3 years outdoors in MA... at first I thought it was from red ants, because I basically grew on top of a large nest, but this year I got rid of the ants and I have the issue once again. Doesn't matter what the strain is, I do different...
I also have a pack of BT soaking right now. It was difficult to not soak a pack of "Love Triangle " at the same time, but I demonstrated self control instead.... had 13 seeds in my pack, let's see how this goes!
Looks great! I have run across some wookie leaning progeny that finished under 7 weeks. The only other Bodhi seeds I've seen do this, was the A11g f3 ones....
I ran a half pack of space cake.... had 1 straight up gsc mint chocolate flavor, but on clone run, hermed heavy and early so ditched it...given the genetics origin, kinda turned me off from cookies crosses overall...
I always tumble my beans in a sandpaper lined tube no matter what age they are, and typically get almost all of them to pop....tighten up on your technique and you will see better results!
I have had <90% germination rates of 15year old + seeds constantly. 1 minute tumble in a pill bottle lined with 220 grit sandpaper for seeds stored in a fridge works fine.... I would not be surprised if seeds could surpass 20 years stored in the same conditions.....
