Seems as I can't get these seeds to budge. Have been in frig , about a month old ... Scuffed. Now 1% bleach in water. They have a tendency to wanna float first day.

There's a few white but not a lot. These are my own cross ww x dpd. All my other crosses have practically jumped out of there shells. So @Oom pah pah I used a garlic press to smash and definitely viable inside

Maybe let them sit longer. ? They have been frigged left out in cool room .. Dark. Thank you. M

Kinda cool to see what's inside.

Does anyone remember someone posting a contraption they made to pop old seeds in mason jar , DMSO and air bubbler?

@Ambre .....search germination under her name and it will pop up , sorry can't link on iPad
Edit , thou those are not old seeds and if none of them are popping the problem is deeper than a germination method IMHO ...best of luck

 

[wobbly goblin]

take a dozen and freeze them for a couple weeks
then retry

fwiw

They're a month old from harvesting? I think that would be my first inclination. Funny you say dark..never thought seeds were sensitive to light. As far as I thought..temps and humidity are the biggest deals.
I never worry for getting them cold right away. Drying them out is pretty important..for germ and storage. If kept at room temps and average humidity..I've left them to sit out for several months just in a bowl.
wobbly goblin has a good idea..freezing might pull the moisture out of them. Might put them in some dry rice too.

They might be 6-8 weeks. Freezer that's what X has told me to do before. Sounds like a good test. Thought maybe I turned them to stone. Thanks M

I believe Ambre is a guy And a good grower at that. !

Ob's uses %1 bleach with water to soak. Trying to rule out over pollination as the factor.

Was gonna say thank you ! Metal barns do not like.cellphones. And yes that mason jars looks like could be useful.

U believe the over pollination of a plant could create to hard of shells? You never stop learning. A open mind is a gracious mind. That's why I posted this I knew great minds think alike ! It's like a challenge to fiquire out . Much love and thanks to all if u. M

Yah I know I have to stand in rain and wind to answer. Nice storm. At least still have power. Aloe huh your likin

 

[Oom pah pah]

I dont think its over pollination. I imagine you had to fertilize heavily with a big pay load. most likely just thick shells. They dont need to age or dry or freeze to be viable. I have seen plenty of volunteers pop straight out of a fresh bud . If it were me id just let em soak and change the water if it get stagnant. They will crack eventually.
