Started by soaking the seeds for around 24hrs in a cup of water. After that the seeds did another 24hrs in moist paper towel inside a ziplock bag filled with air and placed on heat mat. They were then placed into a mixture of jiffy starter soil, which I should add I am a big fan of for starting seeds, I have this soil already in a tote mixed with 3Tbsp/gal of Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4 and a 1/4 cup of Bokashi.
