right ok ive read this thread and i have a few seeds in my hand which i need to germinate. is the below correct:

i) let some tap water sit for a while (like 24 hours) to get rid of the chlorine.
ii) add seeds
iii) wait for 24 hours to see if root tip appears
iv) if not then sandpaper/score with blade
v) plant them in soil
