You must soak your seeds in water (Preferablly Distilled or RO) for 24 hours. Then you will place those seeds in several moistened folded papertowels. Once the taproot (Plumue) is 1/2 inch out of the shell (Testa) you will then put 3/4 Inch deep into loosely packed soil. Germination can take up to 3 weeks with some harder shelled seeds like African Sativas among others.
