High MrJoneser,
NO PLEASE DO NOT... GROWING IS EASY BUT WE GROWERS MAKE IT MORE DUFFICULT WITH ALL THIS BULLSHIT... IF THAT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY NATURE WOULD HAVE FOUND IT OUT 1000 YEARS AGO.
Just put the seed direct in substrate with a lamp not to close but on after 1-2 days because they move towards light and heat.
And then spray them every day 1-2 times with a spray bottle to keep the soil around it moist.
You do not want to try the other methods... I did and fucked up a lot of seeds when I just started to grow with the glas water method, the wet coffee filter in a zip bag, the wet paper towel between plates, the cotton pads between plates, the wet paper towel inside a zip bag. I never had a 100% germination till I started a few years ago with putting the seed direct in substrate and spray moist with watter bottle... 100% for a whole lot of seeds!
Put the seed 0.5 cm under the soil. Spray the soil around the seed moist with a spray bottle... 5-10 times spraying is enough... 3 to 4 days when they show their first 2 leaves.
Happy Growing! 😋
