K this ones my other batch.Seeds sunk but didnt germinate!Does that mean that they are no longer dormant cos if it is still dormant couldnt i take it out and air dry it then store in fridge so i can retry.Coul be cos the temp in my germ place is 20c?

What temperature is optimal for germination.

you want a nice temp of 75-85F and good humidity. 50% at least. normally people put them in a "humidity dome" ... try to mimic a green house effect for your planted seed. also it matters what your puting the seed in.. soil.. paper towel? im guessing you put it in a shot glass and it sank just plant that b like a half inch down into non fertilized somewhat damp soil. good luck

ok thank you HippyLettuce420
if they dont germ i heard they could still be dormant.if seeds sink would they still be dormant or does that mean it no longer is dormant?

I pinch my stubborn seeds just hard enough to crack the side of the shell.

Dont let them stay sunk or they will be saturated and die
