The 1st go around I threw a few seeds in a big with a wet paper towel and put in a window, little did I know I would be doing more reading than in high school and be on the road for one of the best feelings of success I have ever felt!! So im hooked! My question is about germinateing. I have read alot about cracking the seed and also throwing it is a cup of water for a day. How many people actually do this and are there any other techniques I should Rating: 5

I tried soaking mine before, but never really had any exciting results.

What I find works for me, is getting 3 paper towels and soaking them in water. Gently squeeze excess water out just until there is no water dripping from them. Wrap the seeds and place in ziplock bag. I blow air into the bag before I zip it close and then I cover the bag with a bowl and place it over a warm area(cable box works great). Results within 36 hours.

Agreed. About 6 layers of paper towels on a plate soak with distilled water another six layers of paper towels soak them with distilled water cover with another plate and put in room temp area (maybe a little warmer like in a cabinet with cable box, dvd etc Make sure the point of the root is pointed toward the ground when putting in soil (tweezers work great):thumbsup:
