A lot of people have tons of differen't ways to germinate seeds. They are needlessly tedious. I grow in soil and my seeds are placed directly into the soil that they will be grown in. It's been years since I've had a seed not sprout. I have asked before, why someone would want to germinate in a glass of water or under a paper towl but the only response I have been given was something about better germination rates. Since I am achieving 100% germination by simply putting the seeds in soil I cannot advise someone to do anything differen't. Young roots are very fragile and needlessly moving them is not advisable.

Place your seeds about 1/4 - 1/2" into loosely packed moist soil. Keep the soil moist but not flooded. I place my pots on top of my fridge (for warmth)until they sprout. Once they sprout they are placed under the MH at a distance of 4 - 5 feet.

Remember that nature has been germinating seeds this way for millions of years. Usually when mankind tries to "improve" upon nature it doesn't work worth shit.

Keep it simple.
