I dont think you want any light to get to them.{warm dark}is what you want too do.Allthou one of Advanced nutrients teks says to make a glass of tea and drop the seeds in it and put it in the refrigerator over night.Then take them out and dry them off and germinate them.It post to make them think they are coming out of winter and going in to spring.I dont know if this works or not.But tek mike said it dose.Its got something to do with folicacid in the tea.It removes the outer coating around the seed and lets it germinate easyer.Well thats all I have heard about it.

One thing you can do to speed the germ process of these and any other seeds with hard seed coats, like alfalfa and clover, is a process known in the seed processing industry as scarifying. All you need to do is to rub the seed lightly, and i stress lightly, on a piece of emery cloth or emery board just enough to scratch the seed coat. What this does is allow the moisture to embibe the seed without having to soften the seed coat first. You need to do this before soaking or at least thats when I used to do it, Now I clone.
