Im still a novice with relation to most here but ive had every seed ive ever planted grow, some male some female but they've all grown. The method is simple get a small pot of compost put a hole in the centre about 10mm deep, drop in the seed and cover it up. water so its moist, then cover the top in clingfilm and leave in a warm sunny place like your windowsill and let nature take its corse , dont water again and in about a week youll seee the top pop through , remove the film and grow as you would normally.
