shouldnt need ph i use tap water. Some use distilled water. Anyways set it in a warm dark place (I find the back of the computer monitor works quite well)

Eh stick it in a dresser drawer or something it might take a little bit longer but is also a time honored method. There is also a water germination method floating around on the forums.

Are they out of the ground? If so you are in vegetative or growth state.

errr.... why vinegar? I would think the acidic content would be a little harsh for the young taproots. use plain old tap water IMHO cant go wrong.

in my humble opinion. Take the seeds out wash the bag rinse the seeds get a new paper towel and repeat without vinegar to be on the safe side.

Good seeds should pop within 72 hours of initial germination (seen longer) go ahead and plant them when the tap root is roughly 2 centimeters tip of the taproot down regardless of seed orientation. The hole you plant the seed in is easily measured by poking a hole in the center of the pot with your index finger down to your first knuckle (about 0.75"-1") sprouting should occur within 72 hours of planting (also seen longer)
