I just got in my order for more seeds. I got 20 seeds from Seedrack.com or Whatcom Seed Co. I have ordered seeds from them before, and recommend them, they ship quickly and ship first class, however If you don't know how to do something and email them, they will probably not respond, but they carry a lot of exotic seeds. I am going to germinate them right now, and Hopefully I will have more plants soon!
These seeds have a shell on them, and it's pretty thick, three of my seeds out of the 20 I bought, had broken shells, but they are pretty strong little guys, but if you step on one, squeeze one with pliers, or drop one on tile or something they can break.
The seeds inside the shells don’t taste good... I don’t recommend eating them. Possibly the worst thing you will ever taste in your life.
The way I germinate them is, soak them in warm water for a few days (change the warm water every 12 hours with more warm water). Then I soak them in room temperature water until they split open, and once they do, I will insert them into rockwool cubes and wait. While they are germinating they don't need much light, however they need heat, so If you can think of a warm place to put them, your chance of success when germinating will increase. You can also take some sandpaper and sand down the outside of the shell to make it easier for the little baby plant inside to break threw, But I wouldn't take the shell off.
I am thinking about getting another pump and reservoir for these new plants, because I don’t want to slow down the plant I am currently growing with weaker nutrients, but I don’t want to kill my baby plants with full strength nutrients.
