Then in warm spring water (ph not as much as a concern use spring water low ppm) with a light nutrient seaweed/kelp in a shot glass for 24 covered with a mug for darkness no longer they need oxyen for the next phase. At this point which you may not need to do is i slightly squeezed the shell with pliers to help crack it ( like i said shell is hard as a walnut) Phase 2 take a plate with 2 layers of paper towels and saturate just to about flood and fold over and cover. Check daily and tap roots should start within seven day.Wait until decent taproots are visable This is the phase im at and tap roots are showing. Phase 3 is either root riot plugs or i use a coco/perlite mix 2 and a 1\2 inch from the bottom of a solo cup so as the plant streatches add small amount of medium to keep it erected, under a cfl. Cut drainage holes in cups. Also not sure I put the first 2 attempts on a heating mat with no luck. So this time i didn't use it. Good luck
