Got Milk?

I’m batting 1,000 at my attempts to germinate coconuts (in the fairness of full disclosure, the stat. sounds more impressive than it is: I’m 2 for 2) but this next attempt is with a twist. It seems that the two coconuts I secreted back from Hawaii this past winter are now dry inside. No splashes, slurps, or sloshes. Sans milk.

So I might be putting my 100% germination record to the test when I try and hatch these two nuts later this Spring. The plan is to follow the tried and true method: Soak them for a month and then plant them half emerged in a dirt/sand combo stew, resting on a reliable pair of heating cables. And then waiting, for months, to see if anything stirs.

Will the lack of milk in the diet leave these nuts germinationally challenged? Inquiring minds would like to know....
