First for me normally after I throw seeds in cup of water they sink and stay sunk.
These particular group of seeds will.sink to the bottom when water tension is broken and float to top after a couple hours bizarre. I'm not worried just thought it was weird.

I want to come up with a plausible explanation for this, but I can't. Something about gas diffusion into the seed? Really not sure. Interesting observation!

Crazy like I said it's a first for me.seeds look healthy.Hopefully it's not from bad embryo gassing but I don't think so seeds
We're packaged April this year in original breeder pack.

It's been in the 90s during shipping took 11 days but something tells me that's not it either.

Probably the microscopic air bubbles from the water collecting on the outside of the seed causing it to float.

Are you using tap water? Sometimes there's an abundance of air in tap water,making it look cloudy.
