Im no expert by any means but what i did was put damp DAMP! not wet! lol tissue paper on the bottom of one of those chinese takeaway containers - then put the seeds i wanted to germinate in there (leaving as much space as possible between them) then put more damp tissue paper on top of them.

Stuck the whole box (sealed and everything) on top of my router - checked them once every 24 hours for signs of germination and dampness of tissue paper. all my seeds that would germinate took about 24/48 hours (but some can take longer) and then potted them - with the taproot facing down.

Reason i plant them taproot down is because then its faster - because if you pot them with it facing up you have to wait for gravity to take that over and down the seed before they start growing (thats what i read anyway) been growing fine since
adihash Reviewed by adihash on . 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? Rating: 5
