I combined both methods and had more seedlings than i know what to do with. Soaked the seeds til they sank, then placed them in moist but not dripping paper towels, placed em in a tupperware container, and placed em in a dark location. After a couple days most seeds were actually trying to grow into the paper. Many stuck to the towels from hairs that grew out of the initial root. Try that next time if this run doesn't pan out.
