Hey guys. I haven't posted because I was waiting to see what happened. I am left with 2 survivors. The third one broke soil, needed "seedgery" so I gently took it off with a razor blade. Hard brown weirdness in the shell? 7 others never even popped. I was so baffled I opened some of them up. Never seen this before but inside the shells were hard, dark brown grapenut looking things. Like so....

Hard as a rock......
I was immediately suspicious when the seeds didn't sink after 24 hours. Many viable beans sink immediately, or very soon after the dunk.
I was sure it was my fault and felt awful. But I can't explain the 100% germ I got at the same time with these other beans. Same conditions. Same time. Same EVERYTHING.

Dark Matter and Alien Cookies... Which both did amazingly well.
SOOOO.....Anyone have any theories?
I'm gonna email jaws and let him know what happened. Not in ANY way am I placing blame or trying to say anything negative. I've run several Jaws crosses and they are fire in every aspect. If anything I would guess it's my fault since your beans were fine. Truly baffled on this one.
