@TreeFarmerCharlie, Same here, can't pin down the reason, since i switched can't remember losing a seed.

For some reason I have always had issues with the paper towel method. Now I just stick mine in a glass of warm water until the tap root comes out (usually 24-48 hours) and then they go straight into rooting plugs. I haven't had any germination issues since I switched to this method.

So many steps! And they all seem to carry risk. Just put the seed in a jiffy pellet.
