Yes but I have found that if they will germinate typically I will see the nub within 3-4 days. I plan to soak some longer to
see what the difference, if any, there is. You need to change the water every 2 days.They also say the water should
be hot when you first nick and soak. It is suppose to help breakdown the seed coating but my water always cool down after
a couple of hours.I also tried adding some peroxide (like I do for daylily seeds) to see if that would help. Saw no difference.
I've been planting mine in 16 oz red drink cups with holes punched on the sides of the very bottom. Not underneath. I then
place them on the heat mat.
I figure if they don't germinate within a week of soaking, I need to move on and get some others started.
