Default Re: tickling the embryo

[IMG][/IMG]ok. so I started out with the snow banana seeds. I tried to use a really dull chisel first, but all I managed to do was dent the shell. it knew I was a knocken. so I went to a really sharp chisel, did what I figured, split 2 I half. the rest I got to crack, sometimes almost splitting them. did a total of seven. the ones that broke open almost, almost, resemble a walnut inside. but they did not look like the inside of the one that was broken by the post office machines. so I do not know if they are the same. the Burmese I did not try to crack. they were to small and I figured they would just fly everywhere. so I got out my dremel, put on a wood bit and used the end of it to drill into the side of them to expose the embryo. I put 11 more Burmese in the germinator without doing anything to them. I used the dremel on 11 more snow bananas for a total of 18 each. know we will see what happens. they are all soaking in water, In separate bowels.
