How to start my auto seeds I'm struggling.

1. i set water out the night before dropping seedling in just to get water temp at room temp (to not shock seed or kill it with coldness) 2. i drop the seed into water (glass tumbler, anything will do); put into dark place. give it 24 hours if seed split (regardless if taproot is exposed) i drop into grow medium an inch below ground, lightly cover her, put her under my veg lights about 10 inches above ground zero 2a. if seed isnt showing signs of split, i give another 12 hours then regardless of cracked seed i drop into grow medium 3. anywhere from 48 hours to a week later, it sprouts !! 4. i don't water for first 7 days beyond misting the grow medium before planting seed, and even then thereafter, for the first few weeks, once every few days and even then it would be circling around the stems base not directly into sterm sprout but gradually further and further away from to encourage roots to seek out the water for growth good luck buddy fyi: 20 or so grows and never not had seed germinate, by no means a pro but it works for me
