Both seeds germinated successfully in 4 days using both the glass of water and paper towel methods. Went into the glass on Monday 19th April and sprouted on Friday 23rd April.

The seeds went into a glass of tap water (water had been sat out for 24hrs). I tapped them to ensure they fully submerged before placing them into the tent at 22°C with the lights off.
Tuesday 20th April 09:30
All 3 seeds sunk to the bottom of the glass after a gentle tap. I placed the seeds into folded kitchen roll soaked in the same water and then into a ziplock bag between towels in a cupboard.
I re-used the coco and perlite from my last grow and added some more perlite mixing it thoroughly and then filling x2 5 gallon fabric pots and x1 Solo cup.
Wednesday 21st April 10:00
I made 10L of water and calmag, 5L at pH 5.9 and 5L at pH 6.2. I soaked the coco in the pots thoroughly so they are ready for the seeds to be planted tomorrow or Friday. I have set the tent to 25°C to help dry the pots out a little in time for the seeds so the coco is not too damp.

All 3 seeds have germinated successfully each with a tap root around 1inch long. I gently made a hole just deep enough to house the seed and tap root fully then gently covered it so the top of the seed is about 1cm deep.
The coco is still damp but I still sprayed roughly 30-40ml of water and calmag directly on top of where the seed is planted. Lights 28" above the pots at full power and set to 24-0 for now. Humidifier set to full.
Thursday 22nd April 21:20
Gave all 3 plants a further 30-40ml gently poured where seed is planted. Coco is still damp so I'm not concerned about under watering but hopefully im not giving too much. I put a hrgrometer in the tent.
