?? Hard shell? What’s up, brother?
Pardon the slight hijack, NDNCHILD had to ask about this

I dunno brother. I generally gravitate towards people with some sense of humor.

I was thinking that one might simply be tougher to crack. Only was sprouting one of that strain. Figured she was just a tougher nut. All the others are going gangbusters. I’m super excited about the genetics.

My first attempt at Walkin-Stein the bean didn’t do any thing for like 21/2 weeks. When I transplanted the others I dig the seed up. She looked just fine. Being curious I crushed it. Looked viable to me but the shell seemed hard and thick. The one I have growing now was shot #2 I soaked for 24 hours in water and h2O2 a tail popped no problemo. Right into soil no paper towel. Popped up in another 24 and has been rocking and healthy thus far.

What method did you try? I’ve never heard of anyone having a problem germinating her.
This is my ‘tried-n-true’ method, but there is more in that thread about ‘tough shells’
edit… roughing outer shell, trimming rim, soaking, cracking, etc

I’ve honestly had issues with 2 other strains recently. Neither was from you @JohnnyPotseed . Haven’t had this much trouble germinating ever. However a second go with the same soak mentioned above and they too are just fine. Man… don’t ask me!

Worm castings, it was my first time doing it that way.hey, I only tried one of the Walken-stein. I’ll circle back on her, (small space)

Even if I only want 1, I’ll drop 2-3 and cull the weaker, if need be, to end up with a good one.

I actually don’t think it’s so much of a problem as it’s probably better genetics and stronger seeds. All I had minor issues with have not been “store” bought rather bred with purpose and care and allowed to fully mature. No quick turnaround for the buck!

lol it’s just that I hate to hear even ONE bean didn’t perform!

Nah! I believe they would have. They were just beans that a chipmunk woulda broke a tooth on, given up then the bean went on to produce a tree 2 seasons later after being buried in a foot of forest debris!

OK, (whew) so it wasn’t one of mine then.
But, that still leaves @Butterthief1959 non-performance…

No issues here. 100% satisfaction, for sure. Just was noting a similar one-off. ( and, also, didn’t mean to step on thread here)

Yep, the King Tut I had for many years as clone only and crosses. Very hardy n sturdy plant. I got her because with over 30%THC, i thought she’d make a good cross with Frankiie… and she did! lol Frankenstein’s Bride
