Uhh... only 1 out of 8 seeds germinated in a week

[sh0kka]

its been a week since i started, put paper towels + water + seeds in the middle on a plate and have been in the dark for a week. 1 seed germinated completely in 3 days, the rest havent even started. what the hell?

is it warm? i either let the seeds soak in water til they develope a tail, or towel + bad. put it over something with a little heat.

think of a hen layin on her eggs.
