Old Beans

nub i am i am a nub

I've heard of people dumbing them in some powder to help Germ. I believe its Nitrogen, but not too sure.

Has anyone done or heard this as well?

Or I'm thinking I have no Viable Stock....

They may not have been stored very well. Don't give up on them too early though, some seeds can take two weeks to germinate in extreme cases. Have you tried just planting a few in soil? I like to soak them for 12 hours and then plant them in my 6" seedling pots.

Hmm 66-70 degrees? I think it might be too cold for them. Germinating seeds are like newborn babies, in the sense that they like to be warm and cozy. A few degrees could make a huge difference.

thank you for the encouragement! I let the WS go for a week and a half and tossed em... Still have a few more tries, not gonna stop till they are all gone and come to think about it I did move and had them stored in one of those PODs for a few months in the south in the middle of summer .. Probably dried them out. I hope not all of them
