The method I have used for sprouting seeds is pretty simple, I take the seeds, put them in a cup, add some water, let them set for about 6 hours in a warm dark place(78degrees is ideal)
I then lay them in a damp paper towel, by the next day the taproot has emerged, and the plant can either be put into soil/soiless mix.

If planting in rockwool/sure to grow, I generally skip the paper towel and put them right into the rockwool before the taproot has emerged after they have soaked for the 6 hours.

Suretogrow has a netrual ph, rockwool needs to be rinsed very well under water, then left overnight in a 5.5 ph solution to offset its high ph.

Rockwool and suretogrow are similar looking medias, but both have different techniques that are needed for sucess, for instance rockwool is a wicking media, and suretogrow is not. If you are ineterested in some of the finer nuances between stg, and rockwool, feel free to contact me on yahoo.

I prefer working with rockwool, so I will only be adding a tutorial for that, STG is a little to flimsy for my liking.

Rockwool comes in various sizes, for seeds you start them in the 1.5x1.5 starter cubes, and you can transplant them into whatever media you choose to use(expanded clay, lava rock, gravel, etc...)

If you are going to be placing the 1.5 starters into a larger rockwool cube, the ones pictures are 6"x6"x6" then i recommend putting the 1.5 started in the larger block from the get go, this way you can save yourself transplant shock.
