Okay look!..I know that these seeds were bad ass otherwise I would have never kept them…They are @ least 5+ years old,kept in a medicine cabinet in a pill bottle.I got them from a friend that was growing outside.They are definitely photos of either (Bubba Kush,Romulan,Train wreck,etc) Ive done everything I know to get them to germ…No luck!!! I tried the water/peroxide…no luck…Ive tried the wet paper& baggie…No luck. I even went as far as to slice one open with a razor and was amazed to see some sort of “veg” inside…But these bitches wont crack? Is there any hope at all? Any other method? Its more of a trivial thing to me since these were saved so long ago and I wanted to see if they will grow cause I know the weed was bad ass! Anyone? ---

Some people will scuff up older seeds on some sand paper before dropping in water. Worth a shot. ---

U might can try to use a needle and score a bit along where it would crack or get a dmall hole or 2 thru the casing so water can penetrate the shell. Try not to hot the inners tho good luck ---

Yup. Scuff them bad boys! Get some fine sandpaper. Put the seeds and paper into the pillbottle. And shake the feck outta em for a few secs. Check seeds for fine white lines. If there, soak em, if not. Shake them 💩s. One seed bank I bought from actually sent a scuff paper in an order. Nice of em eh? Lol ---
