The best way that has always worked for me it to drop the seeds into a cup filled with water and put them somewhere dark and warm (medicine cabinet). Usually within 24 hours (sometimes 36) the seeds will pop. At that point I'll take them and put them into soil, or more recently rapid rooter. Seems like it's a "kick" start for the little guys before getting placed into their first home. :stoned:
I have to side with Mike of Mandala Seeds, when it comes to germination ... while I have used the 'paper-towel' method for years, I have returned to germinating DRY seeds, after all, that's how Nature does it ;) ... it eliminates the likelihood of Pythium Wilt, that destroys otherwise viable seeds ... these days, I start DRY seeds in RapidRooter plugs, in a small bubbler setup, and get 100% results virtually every time :thumbsup: ... check out Mandala's website 'FAQ' section, tons of rewarding info to be found there, the man knows his stuff :thumbsup:
