this is just food baby pot with a band of sand paper to scratch the seed (no water), then shake for scarification
after that in another little pot with water for 24 hours
Then i put the seeds in moist peat.
After a week, I decided to pick one for the experiment.

Looking closer, it's a rough peeling!
When i did it, there was no pointing root, i did not peel the "end" of the seed

Maybe it will be interesting to do the experiment with one directly peeled seed (no soaking, scarification, peat) just in moist cotton. (and a little heat, of course)
All my (unpeeled) seeds are already in moist peat.
I will see which is going to fully root/have leaf first!
once again i have to say that the smell in the pot is...particular.
(but the pot is closed
)

...Fails.
The heat mat has been shut down a few hours.
Room temp+ (too much)moist= rots
... or the experiment was too extreme!
