To germinate, I always use boxes of moistened eggs (Brazilian hacks kkkk, works better then paper towel).
Then I put it in the Jiff cell and put it in the 200ml glass with inert soil.
@SegaYGriega, thanx bro, here I use alfafa under and straw mulching on top.
Its a No-till cicle, this mulch its great for life and for hold moisture in the soil.
