I still want to figure it out though, or if nothing went wrong, at least try. You said veins can hide. Is it possible they are still good?
They are nice and plump and no smell. Just some transparent spots, greenish, and no veins. When candled, there are no veins, but there is a lump or something on the bottom.
If they were never fertilized to begin with, shouldn't they have gone bad long ago?
