Really? That sucks....

Um, was the paper towel thing warm? And moist? Not soaking wet, just, moist?

That's strange... on my 1st grow, I was 100% successfull germinating 5 seeds with the paper towel method. And I'm, as you, a noob.

QUESTION: Did you pre-soak your seeds?

I don't know if you did, but I pre-soaked my seeds on a cup of water for 24 hours... a cup with water, just drop the seeds in. After about 12 hours or something, some seeds had dropped below the water level.

After the 24 hours, just a little water agitation caused the rest of them to sink to the bottom.

Did you do this? I don't think it's required, but it might help.
