Gave a light misting this morning and re-covered with the plastic wrap.

Here are some pics of the germination process. I used to use the paper towel method however thought this way would be less intrusive and stressful to them and also minimizes the risk of damaging the tap root.

1./ The seeds and prop tray

2./ Poking a hole with a twist tie about 1/4" deep

3./ Using tweezers to sow the seed, pointy side down

4./ Spraying the substrate with R/O water

5./ Covering the tray with plastic wrap to create a makeshift greenhouse.

See ya'll in a couple of days when they poke through.

Ciao for now.
thanks for the pics

i've had terrific results germinating my seeds in rockwool starter cubes and it's easy as shit.
i pre-soak the rockwool cubes in a weak vitamin B1 solution (i use ThriveAlive B1 Red)
then i put 1 seed into each cube (i use a toothpic to poke it down to about 1\2 inch
then i pinch it closed where i put the seed in, put my dome over the top and, voila, 3 - 4 days later i have seedlings.
i get close to 100% germ rate and the rockwool is good transplanting to hydro or dirt and it adds a little stability to the plant also.

i used to use rockwool for my clones as well but they didn't take so good this year so i built a cloner that, so far, is working like a dream, it's running about 95% success so i'm lovin' it.

i don't know if you've already investigated the rockwool option or not so i thought i'd offer the info to you and anyone else that might be reading (the other noobs like me)

anyway, thanks again for sharing
