I have also found that seeds that do not sink from the soak method sometimes sprout, so I don't consider that a "test" of a seed's viability. Soaking for 24 hours allows the seed to soak up a lot of water and get going with germination.

I was speaking in terms of generalities and mostly to encourage the youngin unlike some,my info has ment something to me and i felt compelled to share it.You may not feel the same but its ok man,thats what makes us dif. from one another.Thanx for your insite, a flooting seed will sometimes sprout and a black seed will also sometimes sprout.We speak in general terms here which helps to keep this type of info from becoming more confusing.As a noob i try to watch what i say and will be even more carful in the future.
