Germination Questions

Hey all, noob here.

I got a few seeds from a friend, and i wanted to try my hand at germinating one or two of them.

I put one in a jar with a bit of disstilled water, and one in a wet paper towel on a small plate.

After a week nothing has happened, the paper towel keeps drying out and i keep wetting it, the one in the jar the seed is looking slimy.

What am i doing wrong, i have them in a dark closet, could it be the temp of the closet maybe?

DUDE.... Crack a book!

There are about 1000 different ways to germinate a seed...everyone has their 'tried and true'.

This is mine....

Start with seeds... put them in a shot glass filled with tap water for 24 hours. Keep the shot glass in a warm dark place (or just fucking cover it ),

Take the seeds out of the shot glass and place on a wet (not sopping) paper towel. Place the paper towel (with seeds) on a plastic plate.

Place another wet paper towel on top of the seeds.

Take the plate with seeds & paper towels and place inside a one gallon plastic zip lock bag...Zip the bag leaving a one inch opening (they need AIR). Place another plastic plate on the outside (of the plastic bag) and then place all in a warm dark place overnight (think on top of your DVR).

The next day... the tails are out.... PLANT THEM!

Good luck... I outlined this with pictures in another thread... but I'm just too lazy to find the link.
