I germ em in a wet paper towel, inside of a ziplock bag, ontop of my motherboard (for warmth), with a black shirt over the bag (for darkness), for about 3 days. Not turning my computer off during this entire germination period.

By then, they're popped and the taproot is out enough.

I then rather plant them directly in a medium of 50/50 perlite and peat moss, or into peat pellets, for about 2-3 weeks.

After then (if peat pellets are used and 2-3 weeks have passed and the stock is starting to look thick), I transplant them automatically to that 50/50 prementioned medium, in 2-3 gallon pots, and put a fan on them. Watering and nuteing them as needed.

After that, they grow like the plague.
