Seed germination question for group

[JBloomers123]

do seeds have a shelf life? It’s been awhile since I popped new seeds and the ones I’m trying to germinate are a few years old - I’m it for about 8-10 days so far and nothing is happening…is that normal?

Thank yiu

I reckon the shelf life has a lot to do with storage conditions. After 8-10 days and no sprout, you may be SOL. Expose one and see what you've got. Mushy seed with no tap or tap rotted with no growth.

seeds can last a very long time, many years especially if stored correctly..
probably your germination method is what went wrong maybe?

Thanks guys…I’ve always had luck sprouting seeds with an aerogarden much like I do when cloning. The seeds are still hard and they were stored well over the past few years so who knows.

The strain I’m trying to sprout is a grape kush…maybe they just need a little more time. I’ll give them another week.
