Gelato Auto - #6 diary

I am a new grower and looking for any and all tips. Talk to me a bit about this germination process please. From what I am gathering from the pictures it looks like you put the seeds in water for 24 hours then moved to a wet paper towel in a container. I germinated two seeds in distilled water. I left them there for 10 days or so. I think I drowned them LOL I put them in coco coir anyways so time will tell. I germinated another in distilled water. I left it for 24- 32 hours only this time and its in Dr. Earths Seedling Sarter medium. I also purchased another pack of seeds seeing as I probs wasted the first one lol.
