Is there such a thing as sterile seeds, or can seeds be "dead"? Reason I'm asking, I've been trying to germinate these seeds for 8 days now, using the following methods:

I have some seeds on a sponge, which has been soaked with water & miracle grow. On top of the sponge is a paper towel, and there is some Saran Wrap over the whole thing.

I have more seeds on another sponge, also soaked w/water & m.g., but instead of a paper towel and plastic wrap, I simply have another sponge on top of it.

This has worked for me previously, so I don't know what's wrong now. Are they no good, or just taking longer to germinate?

Last grow I had a seed that finally sprouted after 12 days I had given up on it. But it turned out to be female I'd say maybe 2 weeks MAX but I am just relaying what my experience has been.

Do you know how old the seeds are?

No clue how old, just got them out of my last bag of smoke, which was no older than a few months. Yet I had seeds that were 2+ years old that germinated in three days! I'm about to pitch them and start some more...

Well, that's not too old at all. But yeah the seeds can be non-viable. I might just leave them and see what happens for laughs but start another batch off as well.
