@SkunkPunk Hi there mate I have a 99% success rate with the following method Get a small glass I like to use a shot glass & fill with unchlorinated room temp water. Place seeds into the glass and allow to float/sink overnight Next day I get a Makeup removing pad and moisten it , Then place the seeds on top of the pad and place another Moistened pad on top . Everything then goes into a zip lock sandwich type baggie and this get placed in a warm Dark place for two days. When you check them after the 2 days you should see the seeds have cracked and a small tap root protruding from the seeds. This tap root is to go first facing down into whatever your growing your plants in. So this is my very easy seed germination method Best of Luck
