i went to GrowFAQ but it didnt help me
when im germing my seed in the wet paper towel do i just wet it once and leave it alone for 3 days or do i need to moisten the paper towel every day
and do they need to stay in complete darkness for 3 days?

i always put mine in a folded wet paper towel put it between 2 plates and sit it on your cable box check every 12 hrs but always keep the towel moist so far every seed has cracked for me doing it that way

Take a square off your roll, fold it in half twice, soak it with water. Let it drip off the excess for about 10 seconds, then place the seeds in the middle, and fold it again. I use a cd case to enclose mine, then set it inside a drawer or any other dark area that receives no light. My last germination 11 of 12 cracked in two days.

I am so over the paper towel method! I now just drop my seed into a plug, toss it into a 6" net pot with some Hydroton, then put the whole thing into a humidity dome with some ph'd water with alittle super thrive on the bottom with a heat pad underneath it all. I pore a small amount of the water at the bottom of the humidity dome tray on to the plug every few days...No more transferring cracked seeds..I only use seeds to grow mom plants, so I don't do large quantities of seeds at one time.

get a small kerr jar
2 paper towls
fold them so there together
wet the paper towls and let the excess water drip from it
spread your seeds on em
crumble the paper towl and stick in the kerr jar with a quarter inch water and the bottom

leave in dark space for three days

always works for me and my brother
