I began my seeds in Bottle of distilled water and let them soak for about 24 hours or until the seeds had sunken to the bottom. I then put them into some paper towels and soaked them after carefully separating them about an inch apart from each other and placed the paper towel in a plastic baggy in a DVD case. After letting them sit for two days in that space I saw more growth then I expected specifically in the Candy which both were about an inch compare to quarter inch on every other seed. But I quickly placed them in their first container. I might skip paper towel method next time due to this. I made a double stacked solo cup with cut outs on the inner one to make transplanting significantly less traumatic. The medium I'm using is Coast Of Maine Seed Starting Mix.
