I'm sure there are a lot of guides, but you don't really need them. I've tried many methods of germination, and by far the most successful for me has been to simply put the seeds in soil. No transplanting, no wetting paper towels, no nothing, except normal soil farming.

Real simple and real effective:

1) Get some quality seedling soil, or add 5-10% vermiculite to potting soil.
2) Get some small containers, such as yogurt containers.
3) Plant your seed about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Don't worry how it's oriented, it will sprout unless it's a Church seed.
4) Flood your containers with water and a small amount of B1 supplement of your choice.
5) Put a small fan on them. This will dry them out a little faster, but it will also prevent mold.
6) Do not let the part of the soil that holds the seed dry out. Watch carefully. This means that you'll need to water about every other day until there are some roots, then perhaps once every 4 or 5 days.
7) Once the plants get leaves, just watch daily for the first signs of thirst.

That's it, except for the transplanting into bigger containers after a couple weeks.
