Need help with germination

ignatius said:

I like to do the paper towel method as well. I fold it up a couple times so it'll hold more moisture. Probably best to use RO or distilled water, but I just use tap water. I put it on a plate, wet it down, put the seeds on, then fold over the top so it's covered and wet it down a little more. Then I cover the whole plate with plastic wrap to keep it from evaporating. Then I put the plate in a warm, dark place.

I leave it alone for 24 hours. After that I check a couple times a day to see if they've popped. I don't like for the tap root to get too long before I get it planted.

I'm no pro, but this method has always worked great for me - never a problem.

I use the moist paper towel and keep it under complete darkness. Checking it daily for signs of the taproot forming. Once the taproot is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch then I transplant into presoaked rockwool cubes.
I hear others using the soaking of the seed in a shot glass and it is supposed to be alot faster. But I myself never have tried it yet. Best of luck..

That is what it's about, is doing what you have good results with.Find a fresh seed first.Seed company seeds are fresher than bag seed so there will be a higher germ rate.
