well, not be sound smart...i dont think thier is such a thing as old diesel seeds. considering its clone only, and the "seeds" for it are now poping up everywhere.

but if they were stored proper, they should be fine.

thier isnt a trick to get older ones to germ. either they will or they wont.

well its diesel bagseed, i know the sack was the real deal so the seeds are too. they are probably from a hermie but ohh well. i have had sour diesel 4 or 5 times and this one particular sack was more potent and had such a pungent smell it was sold in two plastic bags, one with the herb which was inside a bag with coffee grounds. plus that true diesel taste gave it away.
so not to sound smart, i know they are old diesel seeds.

They may be from a sack of diesel, but aren't diesel seeds. They are a cross between diesel and whatever pollinated it. Even if it was a hermy and pollinated itself, it is diesel x diesel. Either way, i'm sure it will be great weed and as my boy IS said, there is not a trick to germing old seeds.....they are either viable.....or they arent so germ em and hope for the best, I will.

the older the seeds the harder it will be to get them to sprout,try the paper towel method and see what happens.

IMO, 1 to 2 year old seeds are not old. 100% of my seeds were purchased in 2007 or 2006, and I had 100% germination and survival to sexing. Germinated those seeds back in February, right in soil (my favorite way).

Good luck with them!
