What's up @Aqua Man ?? Hey I have found this not to be true ime. I soak for 2-3 days, if they float when they first drop they stay afloat for me. I read that the seed has this little oxygen bubble to keep them afloat, and once they open unless you disturb the seed or the surface they will stay afloat. Don't tap on it and it shouldn't sink. I have done all mine this way lately. I've yet to come back to any of them not still floating. This has been true for me with and without adding h202.
Hey bro… they sink when you tap because of surface tension holding it up otherwise they would sink without a tap. They have air inside and once the seed absorbs enough water that air is displaced and they will sink. If you notice you can tap then at the start and they will rise back up and float. Its exactly the same with dried seeds or beans we soak before cooking. after a few hrs they sink it’s dependent on how dry they are, how thick the shell is and how fast they absorb the water…. Thats it
There is no magic to this. just like a rice crispy floats until it’s saturated. It means nothing other than the seed has absorbed moistur. There is no oxygen bubble just a small void between the shell and seed. The drier it is the more the gap and voyabt the seed. Once it absorbs moisture that gap is filled with water and the expansion or swelling of the seed from the water and it sinks.
You can just put them in soil thats moist and it will just take a bit longer to germinate because it need a certain moisture content to trigger germination.
There is no big secret or trick just nature. The seed needs a certain moisture content to germ. A seed that has absorbed enough water will sink… maybe you need to break the surface tension to get it to sink but thats just physics at play.
h2o2 has no bearing on then floating thought
