No it's not that simple. After 24 hrs in water and dark, the seed usually splits. Then put it between 2 sheets of paper towel, wet it, and put it in a sandwich baggie under your lighting system. If HID, put it at last a yard away. If floro, a couple of inches away. Usually within 5 day total, you have a taproot that can be planted however you want. Hdro or soil.
