Glad ya stopped by, I gotta say that this 420 is pretty dang cool !!! Thanks to @bythekasiz I was able to offer up a bunch of free packs !!! And the folks that hang out here and support my efforts are awesome !!! I have said it before, but I will say it again, THANK YOU !!!!! Thank you to all of you that have given my seed a place in your garden. You all have MANY other choices out there when it comes to seed purchases. MASSIVE amounts of choices actually. I just want you all to know that I really appreciate the support that you have given me, and I am working on some things.

Thank you very much @Useful Seeds for your time and your work, and thank you very much @bythekasiz for contributing your time and space for the creation of these seeds!

I chose blueberries n chocolate x Christmas tree bud and Dank Sinatra x Christmas tree bud. I'm a big fan of Bodhi, and blueberry hashplant and Dank Sinatra are two crosses that I have not had before.
Dude that's the same 2 strains I chose as well lol. Very, very cool gift by all involved.

Thought these two Blueberry Dub had cracked and started pushing their way up, but they haven’t. Don’t seem to want to germ. Just threw some extra GMO x CD beans in water instead, because my GMO x CD seedling is messed up. I don’t see that thing making it too far in life. Blueberry Dub is what I really wanted, but oh well. One of the three cracked. They were the tiniest seeds. Not sure if that matters though. Should’ve just soaked extra seeds from the beginning and culled some if they all popped. In the future, I know to do that with Useful beans and they’re definitely priced well enough where popping some extras isn’t a huge deal. I’ll be back in a month or so with boring veg pics. I’ll try that Sharpie trick if they haven’t popped in the next day or two. I’ve always thought about using my big tweezers to help crack them open, but have been lucky with germ rates. These things will probably crack on their own shortly. I was itching for an excuse to soak some extra GMO x CD beans. Ha. Hopefully that little weak seedling of GMO x CD pulls through and I have three of them.

I might stratify the ones I will be popping in the freezer since they are real fresh beans. Then hit them with the scuff!

Put your bean in the divot, and orientate it correctly.

Place your fingers on the bean and **GENTLY** press down until you hear it or feel it pop. It will 9/10 give an audible pop so you know it's open.

That is more or less how I do it and it seems to work 90% of the time on tough beans. Give it a shot, but be gentle if you fuck up this method then there is no going back. I usually use this as a last resort when the towel method has failed and I need to go to more drastic measures to ensure the beans will pop. Let us know how it turns out!
