Germinating from abused seeds

I'm germinating from bag seeds. Most were abused but some missed out on abuse. I filtered out all the ones that were visibly cracked. They came from someone who used a grinder on most of the seeds, and some of the seeds were taken out of a vaporizer after it was used. I expected a very low germination rate.

4 days ago, I put 6 in water. When they sunk I transferred them to peat. They have yet to pop out of the peat.

2 days ago, I put 6 more in water and then transferred them to a moist paper towel in a plastic bag.

Yesterday I put 6 more in a moist paper towel in a bag.

How long should I wait for the seeds in the paper towel to pop and sprout a taproot?

How long should I wait for the peat seeds to pop out from the soil?

I have around 8-10 more seeds. should I go ahead and put them into a paper towel? I just need 1 female so I can go clone a mommy.

Go with the moist paper towel method, alot better!!
not always when seeds sink in water is good, you gotta keep them till u see tap root.

How long should I wait for the seeds in the paper towel to pop and sprout a taproot?
2-4 days, I have seen a small tap root within 2nd day, but i prefer to plant it at 3-4th days.

Takes me around 1-2 days till you notice difference that the soil is kind of crumbled.
