The point of the nail file is to scrape off a bit of the waxy protective coating on the seed, and scuff the hard shell, so that it may absorb water better, not to actually crack it. Be gentle with seeds! I can just imagine you with your teeth clenched hissing at the thing CRACK DAMMIT and a pair of vise-grips in your hand... hahaha
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . My #$*&@# Seed Won't Hatch... Ordered some feminized church seeds from a different company and can NOT get them to pop. So far I've had one in an RR for 5 days and it did ZERO now the second one is about 10 days old and taken out of the rr and has been soaking in water for the last two days with STILL no luck. Any Ideas? I'm ready to take a hammer to it. :wtf: Rating: 5
