Yes, and maybe identify better phenos. Maybe broken ones have a different rate of growth or other genetic traits that unbroken ones don't.

The more seeds we get listed and detailed, the more we can find out. And we can have BeezLuiz graph it!
Another forum was doing this back in 2014. There was a group of 21 but I never really seen a documented list of what their actual results were, or what they found.

I just checked 12 random homemade seeds- 6 broken and 6 unbroken calderas.
It'll be awhile before I plant them outside,but when I do I'll make a note of which sex they should be.

Take pics too, for reference later on!

Will do- should have my usb microscope figured out by then... 
I know how to use it,but getting clear pics is going to take a little practice....

I currently use the very scientific "eeny -meeny- mynie- moe" method- although my current grow is proving that to be a flawed process...
I just grab the ones too slow to roll away.
Damn I just popped 4

I’m having a hard time seeing this as “unbroken”. Is that just a black stripe on the hull that comes in from the top of the photo? The white ring around the “caldera” also doesn’t continue through that area. The two features make it look to me like there’s a gap there. I think I need a better example.

I think the one on the right would be considered unbroken,and the left one broken...
Might be easier to see on fresher seeds-these are pretty old and dried out,but you can probably get a rough idea of what to look for...
Is that right seed circle unbroken?

It is- I tried to get a clearer pic at a little better angle but the microscope decided it was only going to take 1 pic that wasn't blurry...I need a better stand for it- that one that comes with it is pretty useless...
Is this unbroken?

I'd say that one's unbroken....it should grow you a beautiful lady, if the theory is correct....
I don't know if this will help, but I shot some regular and feminized seeds.
Above Line Regular Brainstorm Haze, Below Candida (CD-1) Feminized Seeds
Hint: I drilled a small hole in a bottle cap to hold the seeds while I photographed them with a USB microscope.

Someone tell me which of the top seeds are broken and which are unbroken, from top left to lower right.
The feminized seeds all seem to have an intact “rim”.
The upper left seed, and the middle two in the second row appear to have more intact rims than the rest.
So maybe 3/8 female.

Those are some strange looking calderas @Old Salt!
Shed, what i see is this;
Unbroken, broken, broken, unbroken, broken, unbroken, unbroken, broken. That’s top left to bottom right.
