yeah i germed mine in a tupperware, folded wet paper towel, then plastic wrap for a lid....i set them on the back part of my computer moniter, warm and dark, the good seeds germ real quick ive noticed, the others i dont even bother...

before i even germ i put all my seeds in a bottle of water, and wait 24 hours, and i only use the ones that sink

practically the whole grow i use bottled water lol
