Aw man! I’d send you mine to run but no point if it’s going to take over a month to get there like those Black River OG’s that STILL haven’t arrived 
Sincy has a good point though, could get some CS/STS for some fem beans or the GA might help em sprout.

It does that… but im not giving up, just see it as a small setback… I still have 10 each left and they will be put in glass of water with some GA3 as soon as possibe… will also in worst case order some more. 5 did make it… And to make it even worse non of my OPP bx1 did make it either 
.
Thanks @HolyAngel but keep yours as a safety measure ! I’ll order more from seedbay if needed…
I guess and hope the GA3 will work good enough… or like you said if I don’t get any good F/M then cs spray is a option… even if I don’t like the idea of making fems

I think The first and only one I tried to germinate popped. I wish you where closer I would send it to you . Mail is taking a few months from here to there right now. I know it wont survive the trip.
This is how I germinate my seeds.
I scraped the seem of the seed with a razor lightly to get the top calcium coating off there’s very little to it It the layer you see where you will see stripes on a seed. There is a dark layer with a calcium layer above that when the two over lap you see what looks like stripes .
I them put the seed in a moist towel that moist towel went inside a zip lock bag. The bag goes between two diner plates like a clam shell . The plates sit on top of my seedling heat mat with the matching thermostat that has a probe . The probe turns the heat mat off and on keeping the temperature 78F , where I have it set.
Its a great way to germinate seeds. e spend so much on them a few dollars on a heat matt with seedling thermostat is pennys when you look at lost seeds.

I’m gonna try your way out with the ones that didn’t germ the first round, the others are gonna be put in water with ga3, if i don’t work either then I’ll try open them up just like you said.
I don’t have a heatmat but ill put it behind my ps4 so it gets some heat on them… !!
I think this one will arrive in about 30 more days but I got faith on the postal workers doing a great job now 
If you could and it isn’t to much of a hassle!
that would be appreciated indeed

So my one did Crack as of today it hasn’t grown a tail yet so it’s not doing as good as I thought . That stinks. I still stand by my method . 
I have some ga3 solution I dripped on it at diluted amount. We will see if that sparks anything.

Go figure. I didnt plan on the two ssdh I put in the paper towel to germinate. I thought they would die like the last one did . . I tried 2 more . They both germinated and are definitely are growing now. I didnt think they would and germinated other seeds that where very expensive to take their place. My luck these will be the only two that germinate so I have to figure out something…

Can’t you put them outside or something?
It would be sad to throw them away

That’s sound like a really cold place man 
Sorry for the late updates but 4 of 20 made thru germinating stage and are growing on in their 16oz cups.
So now I’m just hoping for 1 good male and 3 beautiful females. I’m taking clones of each one just in case so I can do a bigger open pollination.

Here is a link to using GA3, http://www.crfg.org/tidbits/gibberellic.html
It suggests a 2000ppm GA3 solution for germination. I tried it earlier this year with old seeds, with no success, but that was probably due to my limited knowledge, both using this and my hiatus from growing.
