i use a paper towel works every time like everyones been saying keep it damp. i run the water put my hand under it make shore its warm not hot and flck it on with my fingers till its damp like 5 drops of water then into a dark place check it every day and there you go my next grow im going to show the hole grow start to finish i detale even the amount of nuts im useing down to the tsp per gallon hope this helps and never give up write down what you have been doing and learn from it

i use nature and put my seeds in soil... water lightly and keep the soil damp not wet. i get a rate of 4 outta 5 that way and then they are in soil and ready to sprout already.

just my two joints...

gl and grow um big

If they pop a little and don't jump out with a tail they are probably too old, black seeds have been formented probably when the buds were being dried, cracked seeds have dried out inside. If these are bagseeds then just throw a handful in the towels and moisten and put in a dark warm place not in an airtight container or bag

yes I agree with bud man. All of the ones that displayed the just cracked and like stickin out a little bit never did anything. if they are gonna go they are gonna go all they need is warm dark moist environment. went through like 12 bagseeds before finally getting one to go (last seed of course)
good luck
