I have some ~20 year old seeds from various unknown strains. They weren't stored very well, but many look like they have great potential. I cracked some with my fingernail and although some were purely dry and crispy inside, others still seem to have some moisture and life left in the old germ. I want to try germinating some. I'll follow all of the basic steps (soak overnight, wet paper towel in baggie in warm area).
Has anyone here had any success sprouting such old seeds? If so, what technique worked?
On a side note, I found a little piece of stem (1/8" long) and crushed it to do smell test. Immediately smell memory kicked in - I remember the unique smell as if it was yesterday.
I also found a seed in the bag that had a red pistil still attached to the end.
Any insight will be appreciated. Thank you!

I have some seed from about 12 years ago from an outdoor grow of mine ( a couple males got loose before I could stop them...) that put a heavy smoking friend of mine in a self desribed THC coma. I've saved them sealed in a dark and dry place, so maybe I'll give them a try. I always figured a few years max, but I'm going to be long term storing any thing good that comes along from now on! I'll post if I have any success.
