Hey what's up guys been having a lil trouble germinating these. They don't look premature to me but what I did notice was when I drop them in water they sink to the bottom. Most the beans I pop float. any advice would be good

Gbuddy · Aug 26, 2015

Strange ........ seeds I have popped always floated first later they used to sink.... sooner or later.

Those who took for ever to sink didnt make it most of the time.

Cant remember a seed that did sink directly to the bottom when I dropped them in the water... and I popped a lot of seeds in my life.

But it is intresting. Maybe others had the same problem but I definitly cant tell what causes this m8

Peace

Lightly scuff beans with fine grit sand paper, or even a match box...

Gently hold beans, take a brand new razor blade and lightly score all away around the seem of the bean. Apply enough preasure that the razor "slices" the seal, but not enough that you open the bean up

Try both those methods then continue to germinate with your normal procedure

Dont think that will help if they sink as soon as he drop them i do it for bean taking time to sink or do not sink

Just did a fine scuffle to some beans hope this works. I wonder if some of the resin might have coated these beans? Thanks man for the tips as always.

I have seen it quite often in OG crosses, GSC crosses the shell is so thick that as soon as u drop em in water, they sink do to the added weight but end up never germinating.

I am running testers now that the breeder, after sending em to me, said he was scrapping the project as none of the other testers could get the beans to germ. I said fuck it, ima try anyways and dropped em in water and they all sunk imediately. After 4 days none of em cracked. I pulled em out of water, ran the raxor around the seam and put em back in water. Within 12 hours they all sprung tails.... Sunset Sherbert x Plat GSC (rev)

Looks like u have quite a few to play with, what could it hurt to hit a couple with the razor?

Worst case scenario, you have the same outcome as the rest and you can come back and tell me im full of shit!

Thats correct! He sent out over 100 testers and had less then 20 percent germ rate so he is scrapping the project...

If they are special and worth it, i will def consider making S2s... they are only seedlings yet... if they are REALLY special - CUTS FOR ALL!!!

Sounds like a great cross bro keep me posted on those. I've been seeing a lot of great stuff coming from fem crosses. Since people love fem seeds and the special clone only strains you see a lot of crosses like it. You will see a lot of this more now lots of people think its bad for cannabis gene pool but nobody says anything about the hermie mistakes that create some of the elite clones. I say long as they make great plants how could it hurt just my opinion tho

OG Raskal seeds can be a bitch to germ. My success rate was very good but my Fire OG took at least 6 days to pop in a paper towel where everything else was rocking by day 2. On a side note I highly recommend Jiffy Pellets for germinating seeds. I did a germination experiment and got 30 for 30 with the Jiffys

You just wet the pellet and put the seed in and they sprung up.

My last cross was two I got from Sanniees shop, Anesthesia x KO kush = Anko. My plan was to increase the yield of the KO. made tons of beans, and was able to do one small run so far which was awesome.
