I might have fucked up

I always put my seeds in a cup of water for 24 hours before putting them between 2 wet paper towels. And it has always worked. Yesterday I got my seeds from Attitude and I got all excited and skipped the 24 hr cup of water and went straight for the paper towels without even thinking about it. The only time I had a problem with seeds germing is when I skipped the 24 hr deal. Does anyone else not soak their beans, and thinks I'm trippin for no reason.???

I have a friend that germs his seeds that way, but the majority of people I've came across on here usaully do as you have done and so I see no Fuck Ups yet on your part, so you OK. Have they germed yet? If not how long has it been?

I am pretty new to growing but I have several friends helping me as I go. They all suggested the wet paper towel in a ziploc bag set in a cake pan on top of the fridge.

Worked like a champ!

yes i start all veg. seeds right in soil, but i learned years ago the paper towel method for canabis seeds and have great luck with it so thats what i always do.next year im gonna try it both ways and see how i make out. imo soil would be better due to the fact that you dont have to touch it to plant it after germ or if it grows into the paper towel could mean death.

Now I can change it to,

Put soil in pot
Water soil
Dump out excess water
Plant seed in woil
Watch seed sprout in 3 days

Why waste time putting it in a paper towel when it can be off and growing with no stress from handling in 3 days ? Plus I've always read the more stress the plant goes thru the more chances it has to become a male.
