id wait but don't be shocked if it doesnt pop. my experience is if it doesn't pop within 5 days then more often than not it wont.

they CAN take up to 14 days though..so may be worth waiting the full 14 days if its a valuable seed.

usually mine pop within 24-72 hrs (90% of the time at least)

give it some more time... if you wanna help it out a little, take a piece of sandpaper to the shell of the seed, thatll make it easier for the roots to bust out ;)

I always put a handful of seeds in a folded up paper towell. Run steaming hot water over it for as long as you can until your hands start hurting from the heat. Put it in a ziplock bag to trap the humidity and moisture, should see popping seeds over night. Never let me down, always great grows.

Dont open the bag until the next day. I have done this before and had a few not open, and threw them in my yard, only to find a 4 ft tall plant 2 months later. :neutral:

shot glass is too much, it will drown it. If you have a few to try, then atleast put 2-3 in a paper towel and fold it up into a small square. Turn on hot water and hold.... While its still hot, put it in the bag so the steam induces it to pop, it mimick's the ideal conditions for a seed to pop in soil in nature. Heat exposure to a moist seed in a humid environment.
