is there anyway to speed up germinating?

im germinating my seeds now, they were put in about 12 hours ago. but i was just wondering there anyway i can speed up the process and have them sprouting soon or do i have to just wait it out?

also umm, when i plant them should the sprout out of the seed face down or up? =P

I germinate directly in the soil after soaking...so...I don't know...from experience.

Down, I assume.

I'm pretty sure this is just a preference, and makes no real-word difference as long as the medium is loose enough for the taproot to move. Some people will tell you to plant with the pointy tip down, so the root will can effortlessly work its way into the soil - while others will tell you it makes no difference, and that gravity will take care of it regardless.

and also, i have to leave to go somewhere today for about half a week, and the seeds are almost a day into germing, can i just throw them into a little growing medium now or is it a must to wait for them to fully germinate?

i wouldn't leave them for a week and a half.. throw them into dirt before you go.. leave the rest up to mother nature

should i give it some plant food before i go? i have like miracle gro i can give it

You haven't done your homework yet.
Seriously, read the link in my signature. Your first post says you have grow experience, but I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around that statement in light of these questions.
Giving fertilizer to seedlings will KILL them.

The longest my silly ass ever finally transplanted germinated seeds to soil was something like 4 days after I knew they had popped. The roots had practically integrated into the damp paper towel in the tupperwear container I left em in. The seed sprouts developed just fine minus some stretching, but that first stage of the grow is one I'd be patient as ever with.
