Paper towel method in a ziploc bag to keep humidity up. I put them in a dark warm cabinet to help germination. I will check progress in 12 hours to see if they germinated. I want at least a half inch taproot before I plant them.
01/22 - No activity yet. The towel felt cold so I moved it to my dome and plugged in the seed mat to warm them up. I put a cardboard box over the dome to keep it dark. Update - One of the seeds has popped, so I am hopeful for the rest.
01/23 - All seeds have popped. I'll plant them in coco plugs today.
01/24 - All seeds are in coco plugs now. I put the cardboard box back over dome to promote sprouting. As a side note, the PH of the water after I dechlorinated was 9.4, way too alkaline. I didn't have any PH down and the grow store is closed on Sunday, so I used a mixture of apple cider vinegar and baking soda to lower the PH to 6.5.
