av just put some seeds in a cup of warm water to leave for 24 hourse before paper towel method and they wont sink even when i push them under, does this mean bad seeds
Just put em in the towles I never use that method so I'm not sure what it means, but it wont hurt to try and germ them. Peace
Try scarring it using the matchbox method... if the seed is floating it means it hasnt 'popped' so the water isnt able to get in there and sink it. Just take the seed and drag it lightly on a matchbox... rotate and repeat. Drop in water...wait 7 days. If floating, flush it.
experiment! soak for 24 hours. take the floaters out and place them in one papertowel. take the seeds that sank and place them in a different papertowel. come back and tell us how many of each sprouted. from personal experience, it should be a fairly close ration on both assuming the seeds are not older than medusa. linedrivr
