yeah people have germed seeds 20 plus years old. say you have 500 seeds. 5 years later only 400 might be good. 10 years later maybe only 200 you see the more time goes by the less viable they become but with that many I'm sure a bunch of them are good. If I were you I would just drop 20 bucks on a pack of seeds from Nirvana for your first grow. That way you know what your growing and not wasteing your time on some bullshit.
