fold up some paper towel up and thro the seeds in the middle.
Get it damp and put it in a zip lock bag for 2 days

does it have to be warm place ? in a drawer anywhere ????

Ok look take a plate put a papper towel down on it put water on the plate then put your seeds down in the middle and put a second papper towel down then make sure the papper towels are wet then take a bowl or another plate and put it over the top if it so it make a little dark place for the seed and just keep it damp and wait thats all!!!:thumbsup:

i think it works alot better putting the plate on top of something warm like a tv cable reciever or water heater.

i feel a need to interject here (is that an applicable word?):

i have never used the wet towel germination method on a succesful plant. only times ive used it was on the rare seed that wouldnt sprout after 2 weeks below ground, and the towel didnt do anything either

in otherwords: ive had perfect germination rates in soil, and see no reason why you wouldnt plant them like seeds are intended to be.

The KISS principle :thumbsup:

Too much heat leads to rot.
Avoid any possibility of damage to the tap root- plant sooner rather than later, before it becomes too exposed and vulnerable.
Use a completely unfertilized seedling soil such as farfard, or rapidrooters.

the reason i use the paper towel germination technique is that it usually only takes 24 hours for the seed to pop and usually another 4 days at most for them to come out of the soil. I find soil germination takes longer and it gives me a bad urge to poke around to see whats going on under there and if you use paper towels you can look at them as you please

usually they break surface at 6-8 days. the only exception is with truly crappy seeds. i had one break at the 2.5 week mark, then curl up and die within the next 2 days

???:wtf:
