WBS & CC germination problem

Well, as the title suggest, ive had alot of problems using wbs and cc. Somehow the spores will not germinate, ive soaked (12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours) Ive let the stuff simmer, ive just pc'd it with water in the jars. I've added vermiculite as a moisture buffer, so what im guessing is, this stuff was treated with fungicide. I bought this stuff at my local Canadian Country bulk, (i think it was 1.6 kilos for about 7$CAD)
Now, what does work is a G2G transfer from a pf jar. I just dont want to keep doing this, because of extra risk of contams, and I may as well just use pfjars.
Please help me out here. Thanks!

If you think the seed was treated with a fungicide then buy a different brand birdseed. In my experince cheaper is better as it's less likely to contain additives.
