I usually use a saucer, a paper towel, and some saran wrap.
I fold the papertowel into 1/4ths so it fits the saucer, then put the seed/s inside and soak the towel with room temp water.
Then I place the saran wrap on top to keep it from drying out and place it on the top shelf in a closet where its dark.

I check it everyday and as soon as the root gets to about 1/8" or so, I plant it. Some strains take longer than others.
My haze took about 5 days, whereas my AK47 took only 24 hours.

A little added heat helps. I put beans in peat pellets, soaked with water+superthrive, in a humidity dome, all placed on my cable box. The heat from my cable box isn't hot enough to scorch, but helps facilitate germination.

Basically, youâ??ll need two saucers or plates and some moist tissue.

- Line the bottom of the first plate with a few layers of wet tissue and drain any excess water from the plate.
- Next, place your seeds on top of the tissue, allowing each seed as much space as possible.
- Place another few layers of moist tissue on top of the seeds, again allowing excess water to drain off.
- Lastly, cover everything with the second plate, upside down, to form a "clam-shell" shape â?? this will create the dark, moist environment necessary for germination.
- Place the plates somewhere warm (21ºC) and away from direct light.

to germinate a seed first make sure you have a good seed that has a hard shell if you can crack it with ur fingers with a simple sqeeze its no good. than get a glass of water and soak the seed for about 1 hour it really helps on the wait time than get a paper towel a plate and a plastic bag put the seeds in the paper towel wet it put it on a plate and put it in the bag put the bag in a dark area wait for about 1 or 2 days and you will start to see a white tail out of the seed quickly get a good potting soil mix or whatever you going to use and plant it the tail down and cover the seed and you have planted a cannabis plant wait a week or so and you will seed the develop to a seedling they require 18 to 24 hours a day for strong optimal growth use only water no Fertilizer at the young stage.
