Odds are against it being a viable seed.

Not 100% but certainly you may want to rely on other seeds to germinate.
Agreed, alot of factors can come into play when soaking the seed for germination. Just because it sinks, it doesn't mean it won't germinate. Cracked seeds can float also can't they? I'm only shooting 50% germination so far... not bad considering.

I guess what my point is, unless the seed is cracked in half, crushed or burnt...There's a possibility it'll germinate. plant it, find out.


Or try a different method.
