can anyone tell me how you scuff your seeds or get your hard seeds to crack ive heard theres some special stuff you can buy anyone please info thanx in advance
hey pimpin, all you need is a small box lined with medium-fine sandpaper. just cut the sandpaper to the right size and glue to the inside of the box, rough side out. i use a sensi seeds breeder box...any small box with a lid will work. just put your seeds in and shake the box vigorously until the outer shell has been worn down, "scuffed". i would then suggest that you soak the seeds briefly in 3% hydrogen peroxide, then rinse in fresh water, germinate in your usual method.
some folks use a clean razor blade to carefully slice off some of the outer shell, but you must be very careful not to slice into the seed hull. soak the seeds briefly in 3% hydrogen peroxide, then rinse in fresh water, germinate in your usual method.
basically both of these methods allow water to more easily penetrate the seed and make it expand and open.
good luck.........
Might sound odd but an old hippie friend of mine told me to just pop the seeds in your mouth for a bit and your saliva will do the trick. He also went ta say that the seeds would absorb some of your DNA and that the plants energy would sync with your own hahaha sounds crazy but I do it with great results. He also said that it was an old Indian grower told he this while he was in India backpacking lol.
Peace
this was a topic on another forum once and , i hate to come here and butt heads with anyone but it is total B.S. think about it saliva is the first stage of digestion, so you have digestive enzymes going into you seeds and to further back up what im saying is that you also said that the seeds take on some of your dna and sync up with you in a synergystic way?? not likely.
you just need to directly plant the seeds in something and voila youll get very vigorous seedlings than any pre-germination methods or....soaking them in digestive juices.
