Will my seeds grow?

i received about 15 seeds from a grower friend, the problem with the seeds is they are a much darker blackiish- brownish color than im used to. Im worrying this might have been because he grower for some reason mixed some shit into his weed to make it a bit more stickier, idk why cuz it was good shit in the first place. could this have killed the seeds and caused them to turn black? or is his normal and they will grow jus fine

darkish brown to black could mean the embryo is dead..when i used to grow bagseed i would pinch the seed first, and the viable ones wont break or crush..

heyre not cracked and i did pinch them hey did not break or crack at all

well if theyre viable seeds is only a matter of time if the conditions are right.

the only real way to know if theyll work is to try them throw them either in a cup of water or put them in a wet paper towel in a bag

Try them and you will know dude. Wont take more than a few days to find out!

put 5 in a paper towel, wet. works a treat.

i know how to grow the seeds, i even know about using other seeds in the water so they release hormones and help your seeds grow, i just want to know so that ill be adeequitly suited for the amount of plants ill have
