Finally got my first batch of morning glory
seeds in the mail yesterday. So being the anxious me, I deceided to test germinate last nite. Soaked ten
seeds in hot water from the tap, nicked about 4
seeds, now I found two that are split open almost in half (looks like the halves are hanging onto each other with a thread) and one has split not as badly as the first two. another
seed has swelled so much that the coat is ripped (like in the desert the ground cracks and loks like a tutrle shell almost). One of the really split
seeds looks like there's a root poking out. two other
seeds which I did not nick have swelled but
seed coats have not begun to split. and the remaining four have done nothing so far, should I nick them?
the question that I'm asking is are the cracked
seeds already starting to sprout? I've never seen
seeds sprout and split in water so fast (less than 24h)!
should I pot up the split
seeds and see how long they will survive under my care?
should I nick those last four
seeds?
is this 'fast' sprouting/germinating of morning glory or any kind of
seed natural?
Oh yeah, and also, who sent me those
seeds? there was no note just a message writtene on the inside of the envelope saying, 'these
seeds are large and quite hard, hoppefully they survive the mail sorting machine ok. good luck'
Of course, I have a lot of shade 
I have started them under lights in the 
...I must have started at least 75
