try to use a jiffy pot or a starter kit, i have 100% success rate with these methods : for example RQS : https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/growing/322-starter-kit-feminized.html Using the RQS Feminized Seed StartER Kit couldn’t be easier, simply follow these steps Remove your seeds from their seed packet. Be sure not to push them out the back of the seed packet, as this may damage them. Instead, peel off the packet seal. Take the tray of Easy Start pots out of their packet. You will find your sachet of Bacto under the packet’s sticker. Measure out a litre of lukewarm water in a plastic tub – around 22-25 degrees Celsius – and add in the sachet of Bacto. Mix it up and allow it to dissolve. This will activate the microbial life in the Bacto, which will help your seedlings grow a strong root base. Place your tray of easy start pots in the water, allowing them to soak some of it up. While they are soaking, get your propagator ready by putting a layer of perlite into it. Now take your tray of Easy Start pots and place them on the perlite. As the water leaves the pots, it will leave both the perlite and the pots moist. Enlarge each if the hole of each pot to roughly 5-10 mm deep, this will ensure your cannabis seeds have all the room they need. A screwdriver or pencil can be good for this. Place a seed in each hole. It doesn’t matter which way they go up; your seeds will naturally head towards the light as the root burrows down. Now put the wall and lid of the propagator in place. Place the propagator somewhere indoors where it won’t get knocked or moved. It will now take 1-6 days for your seeds to germinate. It is essential you leave the seeds to do their thing. It may be hard to resist, but opening the lid and checking up on them can disturb the humidity and heat levels, damaging the chances of germination. Once the seedlings have reached 2-3cm high, you can cut up the pots into individual squares, ready to be transplanted into their main growing medium. but there are plenty of other starter kits out there, i use them for sure 😊 Hope this helps ! 🚀

The way I do it is soak the seed for 48 hours to make sure it's soaked up enough water to crack open then place them in a moist paper towel, in between two plates ( keeps the humidity up) you'll leave them there until the taproot is about a half-inch long then you plant them in the soil, make sure while they are in the paper towel that it stays moist and doesn't dry out. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

Hey! The easiest way would be the paper towel method. Soak your seeds in a glass of water for 24 hours. Then move them into a humid, damp paper towel, placed inside a Tupperware or something similar. Make sure theres no dry spots or puddles.. You can find numerous videos online on how to do this, that way you'll have a visual of how its done. Another easy way is using a jiffy.. you can also find easy tutorials online for this method. Hope this helped. Good luck and happy growing.
