  Imbibition a new word for me Thanks.

Now that is interesting.


Oh that was well done.


Of course the seeds will be bouyant until they are watered. So I think the
specific gravity would tell one the weight. If you know the specific
weight of water compared to that of the seed. It is an odd question.:_|)
