Germinating - Where did I go wrong?

Try scuffing em up a lil with a nail file around the edges of the bean. Helps em break open.

this is a bad idea... if u havent soaked the seeds yet this would be okay but cannabis doesnt need this... ive germinated hundreds of cannbis seeds, and the paper towel meathod works everytime for 95%, and when it doesnt work, its cause the seed was no good from the beginnning... u dont need and scruffing..

also ive read even any touching the seeds with ur hand after uve began the germination process use a tweezers and squeeze gently or u will squeeze the root. the oils from your hand will block the root from feeding. but u should not need to scruff up cannabis seeds ever... but also start with the paper towel method from the beginning of adding water to a seed. no submerging them in a bath... how would u like if u were born in a bathtub and werent allowed to breath for 1-2-3 days.
