i buy the best paper towels at the supermarket...maybe $2 a roll and usually the ones that are select a size...but the good stuff

i take one sheet...soak it in tap water....ring it out...place seed in the paper towel..give it a few sprays with tap water place it in the bag...i rig my bag beside my cable box vertically...using DVD's

Usually they crack within 48 actually im 100% for the year...and only lost 2 seed in the past 2 years..

once cracked....i soak the jiffy pellets in 1/2 strength of my week one formula ph @ 7....just because in 3 days this will drop to a hydro level of 5.8-6.0 even using 7 ph water.

i place them just below the surface and cover the top of the seed with peat...everytime they are above ground in a day....always...once the roots are showing i gently rip off the screen and transplant into the hempy bucket of choice....but the whole pellet goes in the hempy bucket just without the screen.....the screen will seriously stunt the growth of the plant and usually creates whats call circling roots..

Hope this helps.
