well first is first. for nicest germination results (ahem I recently got 12/12 germinated using this technique) plant your seed in a peet pellet and keep it moist as much as possible. once it outgrows this put into a deeper pot and let sit under the light for a bit. let it get a few leaf sets and grow thicker stemmed before you put it outside. I doubt one seed will be fortunate enought to survive the forest without a little help. Make sure light penetrates the forest canopy.
