Germinating

I typically, even when doing autos, germinate in a wet paper towel first until the tap root "pops" and then I'll place in its large forever pot. If you are germinating at all, general rules of thumb are: Keep it moist, not dripping wet, but wet. Seeds like 78f while they are germinating and ideally you'd like where they germinate to be close to the temperature of the soil. If you just put a seed straight into the soil, keep it the soil moist but not wet, make sure it has proper drainage as you can drown a seed. Keep the temps good, keep it dark while its germinating, and in a few days to a week she should break soil. In my experience seeds can pop anywhere between 4hours-3 days, and then at a half inch down it can take 24-week to pop out of the soil. Be patient.
