do premature seeds pop?

It all varies seed to seed. If the premie seed has everything it needs to sprout it will...regardless of being premie. From my experience my premie seeds had a little harder time in that early phase. I had to keep their germination method warm. And once they sprouted they needed a few doses of water with Superthrive and "more roots" from greenbuzz...then they grew on like any other plant.👍
