No towel. Glass cigar tube with a stopper, seeds in bottom, just a FEW DROPS of water in there to moisten but NOT float them, put in a cardoard box on top of the fridge where it is ~80'F, wait 2 days (check that tip of taproot is showing), plant. The taproot pops on the 2nd day for me with most strains. Don't let it get long! Just let it APPEAR!
