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...

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.

well if there just schwag seeds then more than likly most of the plants are the same. but it could be different for yall since im in texas and all of our schwag comes from massive crops in mexico. unless its dro or homegrown. but sadly we dont get much of that here

dont use a heating pad on ur seeds or clones, unless U can control the temp. even on low it can get up to 90*F

I have noticed the same thing. Even if some seeds germinate 1 or 2 days after the first ones, they easily catch up to other seedlings. I labeled my seedlings A1, A2, A3, A4, etc... in the order that they germinated... and after a week some of my biggest plants are the highest numbers (last to germinate)!

man i use the shot glass method every time i grow. i tried the paper towel didnt work for me and i heard it takes a couple of days . well this is how i do it i just put some bottled water in a shot glass put like 5 seeds in it and in the morning put it out in the sun usually by sundown they are already cracked and ready to be put in the ground. i hate it when people dont give you an answer or try to steer you in another direction. good luck
