I have to change my previous comments; namely, that SensaSoak has turned out to be utter garbage, and the peat pellets have that shitty wrapping on them that stunts growth, plus they hold way too much water.

It's all about nice, light soil.
I used to use the peat pellets both for planting fresh cuttings in and for seedlings. I actually found that they dried out too quick, probably cause they're so small. All the plants I had in them are doing great now, although that wrapping on them must inhibit root growth- I'm sure my last clones would have rooted faster if it wasnt for that. Now I use peat pots, basically just a pot made out of pressed peat. The soil mix in them is 50% perlite, and regular ol potting soil- sand, perlite, and peat moss.

As for my germinating method, its very similar to other peoples. I just put a very damp paper towel folded a couple times on a plate, put the seeds on top, more damp paper towel, and then i cover it with something (usually just another plate). I keep them above my fridge where it's dark, and nice and warm.
