I planted 6/6 seeds 10 days ago give or take expecting 1 or 2 to die, because we ALWAYS lose seeds.
Last grow we were able to keep 4/10 alive. Sadly it looks like this grow we're going to have 2/6 alive.

We treated them all in the same conditions. Placed them in an incubator, kept at 80/80. Two sprouted out the second day.
The rest hadn't moved by day 7 so we dug and inspected. There were some taproots alive and well and we re-set them, but I think we may have drowned them.

I put them in a carboard box to dry the bottoms hoping they'll grow down and pop up, but is that likely after 10 days of nothing?

We ALWAYS have bad luck with seeds dying in droves. We can grow beautiful plants, but oddly it's this one thing we can't figure out and it should be the simplest.

We once did the paper towel method and gently put them in moist soil.
We once placed the seeds a fingernail depth in a pre-wet, but not dripping, pot of soil.

Every. Time. We lose a majority of our seeds which are really expensive and we're thinking of switching to cloning our plants to make it easier, but I'd still like to know.

Does anyone think these seeds have any chance left?
My plants in their dome under a full spectrum low wattage SpiderFarmer LED.
Watered with distilled (dehumidifier) water at 6.4pH, 80RH, 80F and Photone to measure the light to 12 DLI like it should be at this stage.

Does anyone have any recommendations, tips, or a YouTube video that will help a simpleton get a high success rate with seeds? People in Discord are telling me they're getting 90%+ survival rate so it's obviously my fault.

If you're experiencing that much loss during germination you're doing something wrong friend

Those pucks are best for cloning, not germination

Is Columbian Red Bud another name for Columbian Punta Roja or are they 2 different strains?

(Columbian Red bud )is the original. What it's called now I have no idea. There is no way they would stop growing the best plant around ! Someone has to have it ! Columbia is unstable. Maybe they just didn't care, and let it go extinct.

absolutely with any of these modern strains everyone should be getting 100% germination and most seedbanks know this or they wouldn’t offer guarantees,. indoor breeding causes a narrow gene pool and weak seedling shells etc etc,..
paper towel method etc is over doing it in germinating these type of seeds,.

Paper towel is for old seeds IMHO. The new ones soak for 24 hours and then put in the dirt. If it's old or bag seed, paper towel it to see if it pops
