Oggys_OT I put them inside chamomile tea each after cooking it to 100degree and let them cool down - time to wait 24 hours for next step. I will put them from beginning into endpot which are 20Liters fibre.

How long do you guys prefer to soak the seed in the water? 24 hours or until seed is cracked open?

I never do, paper towel in between two saucers works every time and what works better in my opinion if you must, is to place a seed in a very small box, like a match box size, lined with 120 grit sandpaper and shake it for just a few seconds then place in paper towel or soil.

I go for a 24 hr soak in water with benifitial bacteria/fungi the seed will take these with them on there journey to maturity.. If the seed decides to crack open then it's winner winner chicken dinner. 2nd step is to place between 2 wet paper towels not too wet this is so you don't damp off the seed (drown it), get a tap root about 1cm for me to pot up. Hope this helps good luck

usually soak for around 18–24 hours max just until they sink or show a little crack. After that I move them to paper towel to finish popping. Leaving them too long in water can drown them or cause rot

After 30 hours all seeds were cracked open - I decided to put them into soil and now it’s time to wait until we see my seedlings update will come soon :)

I changed tea (always after 24 hours), sadly it was too cold so the seeds still closed. I always put them into soil after it cracks up a little bit. I guess tomorrow will be time to plant them, for soil I decided to go for royal mix 85% and the bottom lightmix so my seedlings have better rootspread..
