Good viable seeds can sprout in 24-48 hours if you use a few drops of superthrive per gallon of RO water and make sure it is WARM first before soaking seeds in it until they sink..then wait overnight & don't worry they won't drown, just keep the jar/cup warm and in a dark place. Use a heavy duty paper towel or cheese cloth, etc. to strain the seeds out of the cup/jar. Then check if white tap roots are showing on any of them & immediately plant those showing already in your growing medium, otherwise place them in a soft pre-moistened paper towel (make it wet but not soaking) and make sure they are kept damp (plastic bag works great..blow air in it to fill it up also before sealing) put this somewhere WARM & DARK like on top of the home water heater or fridge..etc. If you have a heating pad set on LOW or a plug in propagation mat for seedlings this would be ideal. DO NOT let the the white sprout tips grow too long because it will stunt plant growth and can damage them, make sure you plant them as soon as they emerge from the tip of the seed and plant them with the tail pointing UP about 1/8" - 1/4" under the soil/media so that the seeds can right itself up (the tail loops around itself & down) this way the seed can properly orient itself just like it would do in nature and get a nice firm footing for strong rapid development and growth. Good luck! :hippy: :rastasmoke: :thumbsup:
