Ok so heres my dilemma: I had 12 bagseeds from like 2 years ago. I germed all 12 of them when i had first got them. but back then i didnt have the knowledge and info i know now about MJ. The taproots werent showing, i took 5 out of the 12 and planted them. The others i just stored. Out of the 5 i got 3 healthy plants. Now 2 years later im trying to germ the other unused ones and i've had no luck at all....... Can anyone help me out?? cuz im really getting anxious and feeling i should just order some seeds online.

seeds stored in a cool dry environment will remain viable for years.

well seeds can be stored up to 4 in a half years .and your seeds arnt germinating because either you keep touching them or some time it takes up to 10 days to germinat or you just gat a batch of bad seeds

try taking the seed between your thumb and fore-finger,then apply a little pressure with your fingers,if she crushes i`d say you have a bad seed,lol.
i do this with all seed i recieve, due to being told that this is a good tester of older seed to see if they`re viable for the germ process. works for me!
but i heard from one of the mods to keep trying different methods of germination,as some seed can be down-right stubborn.i`d give it at least two weeks of various methods,leaving the seed "undisturbed" for periods of three whole days between attempts.
"i" also beleive that seed can be stored in a cool dark space for up to two years, without problems.i would imagine longer shouldn`t cause too many diffiulties.
maybe i`m wrong? good luck anyway bud,keep us informed.

Put seeds in water if IME if they don't sink within a few days thet are no good. Then you can leave em in the glass of water and wait for taproot or whatever. I have had seed in the past with a shell so think I had to help them crack the shell! Later, 55

Your right on I germ my beans with the old paper towel method but we are talking beans that are not germing right? So methods change when I can't get a bean to germ. Peace, B.P.

You said you germed all 12 but only planted all five. If you soked the seeds long enough to get them started but didnt use them they probally rotted inside or all the oil dryed out in them. Chances are you will need new seeds but at least try to get them to sprout. Slim
