also, no need to soak directly in water. First put in wet paper towel then put in plastic bag to keep wet then put in a DARK spot (stops mildew and other fun guys). Check on then every 24 hrs make sure they are wet and not smelly (mold or mildew). When you see little tails popping out CAREFULLY (dont touch the root at all) with some tweezers put the seed into ur growing medium. I prefer the RAPID ROOTER. make sure that you place the medium in a dome to prtect the young one from wind....any breeeze at all might kill it. talk to me in three days...good luck. Oh and dont plant all ur seeds at once. You might have to kill a few to get it right..god knows i did
