I have just bought four new seeds (Black Cream Auto) and put them in water to germinate. I was a bit dissappointed to see that they're floaters.
I read somewhere that if they don't sink within 15 mins in water, they're dead and it's best to ditch them.
That might be the case sometimes. If they're dead and dry, sure, they'll float but small seeds are likely to float anyway, aren't they? Dead or alive. That's physics (I think),
Well, my four seeds are floating but in just 24 hrs, they have produced healthy taproots! Thank fuck I didn't ditch them!
Don't ditch floaters... persevere for a while. Some seeds just take longer to sprout!
