hey this is my first grow i found 4 or 5 seeds in the bud in my 4 grams i bought can i plant them my freind told me to leave them on a wet papper towel for 2 weeks untill they sprout is that true i only have 2 seeds now dont know where the others are does. it have to be wraped in the paper towel does it need light etc...
I put my seeds is "moist" not "wet" paper towel and slip it into a ziplock baggy. I have heard by many people to do the same but leave the paper towel on a window sil or counter top without bagging as far as temp goes keep it between 50-60 degrees (about ground temp) or you could go to a local hardware store and spend 3$ ona mini green house. allow up to 5 weeks to sprout ive seen some really late bloomers i almost threw away!
I plant my seeds directly in the soil. I make a little pocket ( about 1 inch in diameter) and fill that with vermiculite. This holds a lot of moisture around the seeds and when the root breaks free it doesnt have far to go untill it finds the good stuff.
I know a lot of growers use the paper towl method but since I hardly ever have a problem getting my seeds to germinate I stick with what works for me. I just don't like the idea of handling the seeds after they have germinated.
I keep my seeds at 75F for germination
Hope this helps

Yea that's A good point about not handling them. I would recomend growing in a nursery and transplanting from there.
