I put the seed in a bottle cap filled with water from my fish aquarium and left over night. I noticed the seed had cracked. I placed half a coffee filter in a plastic container from a rotisserie chicken and dumped the cap of water and seed into the filter. I then added more water from my aquarium to the filter to ensure it was fully moist. After three days, the root was long enough to transfer to soil. The pot was moved to my "seedling tent" which is a box lined with aluminum foil with a 7 watt LED bulb suspended over it. The box is layered over top a heating pad with a small gap to not cook the seedlings.
