just to make it known....you can follow all of these methods and still not get success, as i didnt with 5 seeds. the main thing...i think...is the quality of the seed.

im not really sure what my issue was...BIG BANG strain from the legends Greenhouse Seed Co. and i did step by step paper towel method...my seeds have cracked...some i had to help with a steril razor blade...but none have grown a decent tap root at all...its almost been two wks. I have another order for seeds on the way, but i refuse to throw these 5 away yet.

pray for them!
