I soak one day in water like u, take jam jar, toss in some kitchen towel, wett it competely but not too much, toss seed in, wett again untill seed is just floating around in a little pool, toss in another layer of wett kitchen towel to seal off the seed and wett a bit more, put in dark space with house temp and lift top layer of paper every 24H to check.
This never failed me and it never will.
