sure..ive mentioned quite a few times over the years here on how i sumtimes have to crack the seed casing a lil with the older seed or seeds that just wont crack on their own after bout 3 days...i take the seed in my finger tips and hold it just right so when i apply a lil pressure with my finger nail edges (thumb and index fingers) i can hear it when it cracks..have to listen real close and helps to have tv or radio ect off...also shud do this method in some kinda tray or storage container cos if ur not carefull the seed can go ZINGGGG! across the roon and into carpet never to be seen again.....done that many timez...
