My personal method for germing (100% success within 48hrs of wetting):

Wrap seeds in tin foil
Wrap tin foil package in cling-film
Put in fridge for 2 days
Put in paper towel soaked in filtered water, then fold up towel and put it in a glass with about 1/2" water in the bottom
Leave in a DARK place, ideally slightly warm, like near a radiator (NOT on it or next to it), on top of an amplifier or some appliance that generates a little heat, or in an airing cupboard
Let nature do it's thing, don't check more than once every 24hrs (the more you disturb them at this stage the longer it'll take and the more risk there is of mold introduction)
Once all are showing 'tails', plant about 3/4" deep in your (moistened) medium ensuring the radicle (tail) is pointing down, cover over gently. Make sure this is in an opaque pot or rock wool cube. I'd avoid jiffies as they seem to attract mold. Make sure these remain well ventilated, and a little light won't do any harm. Make sure they stay moist too, but not sodden either.

Again, give em time. And maybe play them some Bob Marley and give them pretty girls' names
Good Luck!
