I told all of what I know lol .more of a diy and find out if it’s worthwhile or not!
I came to wondering when I remember using vinegar in my tap water to asjust pH miniscule amount yes but that led to further investigation peroxide on tough seeds why not vinegar I thought

Two days the ABC seeds r looking pretty plump hoping to see life here soon or a waterlogged seed😅
Idk how much longer can i wait …joking
The ICC #5s1 plants r deff looking like they could use a topping …I said lifta but what fun is that really…
Also picked these suckers up at lowes $5.49
Planted three in one pot …she should fit in nicely
My buddy also ordered ladybugs and got 1000 he asked if I could use some …I seen some thrips on my plants …so mise well

I was thinking acetic acid might be a bit strong for any big length of time, but I didn’t want to interrupt your experiment.
In any event, it gives you data and you learn something. Just let me know if you need more seeds. I have a ton of the ABC 2nd generation crosses that you can experiment as much as you want on. They aren’t fems and only about 25% will be ABC leaf type, but they won’t get used for anything else.

Exactly !
Live and learn brother
I did scuff them a tap root showed up a couple days ago but never progressed…
Tomorrow morning I shall drop some ABC and use my normal method of germinating…should I scuff the seam line of the seed …I did the points last time

Unfortunately, I can’t advise on physical scarification (or any type for that matter).
Give it a try let’s see how it works.

I post before reading the post above😂. I do appreciate you sharing your experience with us.
I can’t promise I’ll not do this again though
I use sandpaper in a plastic bottle for scarification. Just shake for a minute or 5

I’ve done the same with seeds that wouldn’t crack. Use medium grit paper though. 
I learned that right quick. lol
Fine paper just shines them up real pretty.

2/5 on the ABC seeds so far …four days in paper towel and water brother !
We have a third one sprouting a tail
So stoked !!
Into the cups they go
Aslo I ended up topping all of the icc#5
One in particular seems to really wanna stretch …
I’m almost ready to tie em down .they deff have some nitro tox but I knew that was coming…this soils potent shit lol
Strawberries seem to be coming along well…idk if I should transplant them or not
The ladybugs you ask …well there is one left…the rest succumbed to drought and the Venus fly trap

If you gently crack the ones that didn’t start, you might get one or two more.

6 days… and I’m calling it day one for these ABC seedlings
I had to use my “gentle touch” slight casualty
Finally they r on easy street from here …we hope
One in paper towel still is questionable
The ICC #5 are chugging along
Again my gentle touch led to some snappage
Which it led me to Supercrop and tie down the apex shoot of the plant that is stretching way more then others…I think imma go no lst this time and just top and top and top
