I have heard about saoking the seeds ina shot glass until they sink then planting them, is there anything im missing here? DO they have to be in the dark?

Put the seeds in a glass of water for 6 to 24 hours and then plant them. If ya want to use a shot glass that will work.

just use wet napkin between 2 Styrofoam plates on top of the water heater for a couple of days when the tail gets about 1/4 inch plant in moist dirt

I had another idea, what about a wet napkin with seeds inside a ziplock on an electric blanket?

I personally prefer the "place seed inside a unbleached, undied silk wrap..then drop it in a 1 liter pure glass beaker. THEN, vacuum seal it with .6 mil natural colored plastic. Let sit in 72.924 degrees farenheight; reducing .11 degrees once every four hours. NOTE: Keep away from the vacuum of space."

...but once I heard this guy put a seed in dirt and it just grew anyway

Yes this method does work... it tends to work a lot faster than the paper towel and other methods in my opinion...

So the tails will poke out submerged in water?

yes they will. and then that happens there ready. i usually do it in my growbox so they get the warmth from the lights and theres no need for a heat pad.

just because they sink dosent mean that there ready somtimes thats a dud so for a sure to sprout seed go with the ones with the tails.

this is kind of off topic but... the other day my friend germinated a seed and after the first day, a half-inch long root popped out
