yes thanks, well you can use sand paper as well, i personally preffer a sharp blade, its easyer for me, but you can use any of both techniques, and exactly by the seals of the seed, where both shells meet.

If you let it in water for a loooong time, maybe it will never sprout, i had like 5 seeds long time ago soaked in water for like about 3 weeks or so i dont really remember, and nothing ever happend.

If you do this youll get a germination right away normally...
