Seriously? If so, please tell me you don't pay for seeds.
For the past few years, I've been planting the ones that sink and/or crack. After they sink, I put 'em in the damp paper towel, and discard the floaters.

Stinky: Do you know the mechanism that makes the viable seed absorb the water and sink, but keeps the inviable ones afloat? Been wondering about that for a while, lol.
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . Seedling question Hello :thumbsup: This is my first grow and i have a few questions. First off, i am concerned about a seedling i was taking out of the wet paper towel. As i was gently picking the seedling out of the paper towel the very tip of the root broke off. I still planted the seedling into it's pot, but am concerned snapping a tiny piece of the root will kill it. Is there a chance this seedling can still continue into a healthy plant? Or by breaking off a tiny piece of root will it be doomed? Rating: 5
