so i got some seeds from a semi-known breeder buit they dont look very good. a bunch of them have not cracked… paper towel method, soak in water with h202, root riot cube… nothing ![IMG_0316](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/9/1/d/91d67494db8f7746dd5c766b89d2f36c8620b757.jpeg) do these look like they are worth $10 each? The pic actually makes them look better. more of a greenish yellow hue in person ---

If they’re viable, they should grow. Your method looks good. I’ve seen seeds that color grow just fine. ---

I’ve had seeds take 7 days to crack in distilled water/peroxide. Be patient, make sure temps are mid 70’s, refresh H2O2 daily and wait for them to crack before planting.
