Be patient and give it another day or 2 as it may not have soaked all the moisture in the seeds yet....I personally have never used the paper towel method so I'm not much help, but you could always buy some peat pods from wal-mart! They are like $2 for 12 of them with a humidity dome that comes with them! I find this to be the best thing for me so far :thumbsup:
