Oh hell, I know, but so many say 3days and done. That's cool too, but for different reasons I'm not so easy to say that. Some people have learned to take a seed and scruff it up with fine grit sand paper, before soaking because the shell is to thick. Lots of scenarios involved, but hey, if you can afford it...2days and toss. I have time because I grow meds. for myself so an extra 3-4 days to crack is no big deal in the big picture. Every ones situation is different. Enjoy the total experience!
