I soak the seeds in water for 24 hours. Then plant the seed about 4-6 mm (1/4") deep. Water enough to moisten the soil. Cover with a humidity dome. Crack open a beer and be patient. If you use the paper towel method be careful to not keep the seed too wet. It can be easy to keep it too moist which can cause the seed to fail. Turning black is a bad sign.

Also, read some of the other questions here. Earlier today another person posted a question after breaking the tap roof off their seed using the paper towel method. Don't let the seed go so long that the root tries to grow into the towel. And, be VERY CAREFUL when handling the seed. The tap root is delicate and if it breaks it can mean loss of the seed.

I do not agree with GrowCN about not keep the seed to wet on a paper towel or pads, I have sprouted a few thousand of seeds so far lol with a succes rate of like 95%. Some seeds won't open, its normal. Plus some breeders just have bad seeds/genetics.

Hey stealth_Grow_NL There are a few options: 1. Put them in a glass of water with PH 5.8-6 2. Put it on wet toilet paper and close it with another layer of paper, also ph 5.8-6 3. Put them on those make-up pads woman like to use, This method is my favorite. Put another one on top with also ph 5.8-6 Put them on a plate or something in a dark spot like a closet or little cupboard :) Goodluck growing.
