To: SoObudgal; I had never put one in a coffee container, this is the first. I tried germinating 3 gg4s and my great dane pup broke his toe. It was this whole ordeal, at 8 months he's 138lbs. Anyway I had them soaking in spring water for 18 hours then, "the toe" happened. They wound up soaking for 48 hours. She was the only survivor and she was fffd up looking. Tossed her in the Ole folgers and thought of Lord of the Flies. Survive if you can.
