Yeah as the title says basically I had some beans, i put in paper towel. The ones that didnt pop. I put into water for a few days, still nothing. For some strange reason i decided to throw them into a half drunk glass of robinsons apple and blackcurrent squash The stubborn beans that refused to germ in paper towel, and then in the water, popped in the robinsons. Not that i advise you to throw all your beans in squash. but this worked for me on stubborn beans, after other techniques failed. :) Munks

Could be coincedence, any old watery liquid would probably have done the same...

Jus' sayin :)

yea vik has a point tho, who's to say that if you didnt leave them in the plain water for just that bit longer they wouldnt have popped.?

your beans popped in the end tho so its all good.

It would flavour the plant! i dont know what effect the sugars and acids would have, i doubt your roots would like it but its anybodies guess....

you can get all sorts of flavoured/scented flushing agents but personally nowt tastes better than grade a weed

PMSL.

Once upon a time a pidgeon bobbed his head (like they do) and coincedentally got some food. Another pidgeon thought "hey... he bobbed his head and it made food happen!" so it started bobbing it's head as well. This started in the industrial revolution and by WW1 all the pidgeons in the country bob their head.

warm water does the trick in under 24 hour... never germed for more than 24hours with warm water

I'm a big fan of not germing and planting directly into the medium under 18/6. My thoughts are that if the seed needs to be germinated in order to sprout, the genetics are weak and I don't want them anyways. This technique is the "first tier" of elimination when I'm selecting mothers from seed. Any that don't vigorously break through the surface within 48 hours or so are tossed to make room for the ones who wanna grow. peace

your very right. some seed are tough and thick. they require scarification from acids(rotting fruit) abrasive sands and water, or even fire.

It seems to work then. Will pin this one to the grey matter. Well worth a try if the usual methods fail.

It makes me laugh the things stoners do & discover something purely by accident :)

I'm not sure if the Robinsons had any effect other than to give the stubborn seeds an extra soak, which may have been all they needed to Germinate. I will definately try it though if i ever get a stubborn seed

Little tip.

Cannabis seeds have a covering of Captan over the surface of the shell & You can sometimes help very stubborn seeds along by scraping them along the side the sprout root comes out. Some people use a scalpel, but instead of cutting they just scrape along the side,some people use sandpaper. It's not something I recommend doing to good seeds but if a seed won't germinate then you've nowt to loose.....

It's called chitting seeds,sweet peas need it.

pfft I bet you work for robinsons! Are over brands of drink also available? :P

Is there any reason this would work ? Maybe one of the ingrediants we can buy in a pure form to add to water?
