Have 30 seeds. Had em for almost 2 years of say. Bag seed of a hermie plant. Got 10 germing right now and well none of them have popped. They look like good seeds andI had a few pop last year in fact all three I tried. Well anyways I've tried several methods now with the same ten. First I had em in a paper towel damp not soaking in between 2 dishes. Didn't work. They sat like that for about a week and a half. So then I tried just sticking a few in the dirt and left some in paper towel. Days pass and nothing. So I try putting them all in water and they all sunk to the bottom right away and have been sitting there for 4 days now. I think they are most likely dead but I hate the though of throwing them out. I have 20 more so I put two straight in some soil and gave em a slight watering. This was yesterday evening and I'm hoping they sprout and I added 3 more do a fresh paper towel in the dishes and they have been sitting in the dark since last night as well. My question is why would so many seeds not pop. They did the job last year. Any way what could have possibly happened to them to make this so. I'm about to get my setup finished and im not gunna have any plants:/ ugh it's driving me mad cause ive never had an issue with germinating seeds. I might just have to order some I guess but I don't really want to. Seeds were in a container ith some left over weed scraps and a tad weed ash. Maybe the ash killed em?
