Germing it up.

soak in water for a few hours and then right into the medium.

my mom always told me to quit wasting paper towels when i was a kid, valuable life lesson.

I soaked in shot glass untill they sank, well ok, only a few sank, and im impatient, tossed in some TP (papertowels are on the shopping list) in baggys, had them in a drawer but i think that was to cold, put them in a warmer spot and things are moving along much nicer...

but theres no reason tossing them in the dirt wont work, I just like to see the taproot before I put em in pots....

I like to use Oasis cubes once they've cracked in a glass of water. I get to watch them unfold ... and with Oasis I'm set for either soil or hydro. Fwiw. cn

Between damp paper towels, in a zip lock, placed on the water heater for a day or so has worked well for me.

in a pill bottle with a drop of kelp. when seeds sink, plant in 2" peat pots. any that don't "up periscope," don't deserve to live.

i use a sponge, seems to hold moisture better than a paper towel

straight into the soil they go. nature's way.
