I haven't cracked any Blue V2 yet, and probably won't for a while.. but, I have been having not so much luck with the GDK... I've had 4 seeds in medium for a couple weeks now, nothing. I gave them all a 12 hour soak first, then right into medium. So, yesterday I just put 2 more beans in paper towels... want to germ first then plant, see if that makes a difference.
