Basic germination. Recommended method by Crop King Seeds. I've had nearly 100% successful germination rate this way.
14-18 hours in a cup of a spring water, followed by placing the seed in a damp paper towel. Once a taproot can be seen (2-3 days, and is 1/2 inch long) I'm ready to move the seed to a rooter plug.
