wildwelshman, Just to confirm you leave your seed in the water until it pops open? Ive heard so many different stories about germination its crazy lol... That doesn't drown the seed? What temp do you keep the water in the glass? And how long do you keep it in the water after it pops as in the pic you posted?Hi mate. It usually pops with in 24 hours but i have had some take up to 48 hours . To be honest im not sure why the seed sont drown but have wondered why. The temp off the water is at room temp i just leave mine on the side in the kitchen i use the same spot every time. But im sure it doesnt matter im just a bit wierd like that lol.If usually leave i watwr no longer than 48 hours though as i heard it can start to make the seed to rot not surw how true this is though. Hope thia explains it a bit better for you mate.
