Tester update! Well, It took quite a while, but I finally got 2 to pop out of 6. Not the best germ rates, but I figure since this is a test, its good to be transparent and give y'all everything I encounter! Not sure what's going on, but even with the sharpie technique (pretty audible pop, so id put a tough shell warning on these ones)... They were transferred to coco tonight and I'm hoping they come above ground in the next few days! Ill keep everyone posted!

Hey I'm glad you posted this because I had similar issues as well. I put 4 in a paper towel and had zero pop after 5 days, I manually cracked all 4 last night with my teeth and now 3/4 have tails.

I'm kind of glad my testers arrived so late now that others have discovered tough shells. Imma scuff 'em real good! That's in my hillbilly voice. Lol. Mine will be planted tomorrow, between them showing up late last Saturday and kids sports this week, tomorrow is the first chance to pop 'em. Later than I wanted to but they will see sandpaper and moisture tomorrow. Will do a very short veg time because they are testers and the sooner people find out they are fire the sooner @Useful Seeds can get them to the banks for us. Grateful to be a tester and hope to do them justice! Will also be testing 91 Christmas x Chocolate Diesel....stay tuned friends...

My blueberry dub has the same problem.. went through 4, had no luck even scuffing. Super tough small seeds, may have to take the belt sander to 'em.

These little buggers are super tough man. Ha. Gave up on babying one and tossed it in the trash, but have this one left that is having such a battle to crack its shell and get it off. Been above ground with nothing out of the shell for over a week now. It’s slowly coming though. Could’ve saved the two seeds I killed, but oh well. Twelve is enough plants for this go. I’ll have to try the scuffing next time I run these Useful seeds.
