Just an update on BubbaSquach. Tried to germ my remaining 3 (just for grins)and same result. Seeds seem to crack but never produce a tail. I did check under a scope and they had some gelatinous type funk where the shell cracked but never produced a tail. I'm no expert but seems like some sort of fungus or disease. They usually go 5+ days before they crack. BTW I follow the germination processed outlined by Mephisto via a cd case and rarely have problems. Just wanted to share..
