Sure...get 3 paper towels, fold them, get them moist with distilled room temperature water(not soaking wet - just moist), get a plastic baggie or something that will help the paper towels retain their moisture, put however many seeds you want to germinate between the folded paper towels & fold over again, put it in your baggie or whatever & leave it in a warm dark place. Do not mess with it too much, check once a day - if the paper towels needs it add moisture(it shouldn't). I think darkness is more crucial than warmth, but it can't be like 50 degrees or anything, a dresser drawer should be fine. They should crack in a couple days at most. I wouldn't germinate more than 5 seeds at a time.

Home depot has the "y" splitters like two bucks each. They also have cfl's up to like 27 or 30 watts. I got all my cfl spiral bulbs there. 23 watts are like 5 bucks for two. HD did have alot of the things I needed, should fare the same for you. Good luck. Chuuuurch.

lol, would be ok if i lived in usa, lol.

here, i have found a 28 watter, thats the highest that my local hardware store carries, and i have'nt been yet, but a needa goto an actual lighting store that sells that type of stuff. my local HW store is mostly garden supplies, hense where i got my ferts and stuff.

btw Dfunk, ive done what u said, 3 paper towels, folded once in half, then got the towels moist, not soaking wet, and placed the seeds (2) in the middle, then folded the paper towels once more in half, then chucked it in an air tight sandwhich bag that is sitting under some t shirts in my closet. nice and dark, hopefully a bit warm.

sound good?

You got everything right except one thing. They need to breath! You want the baggie to help the paper towel retain moisture, but it should not be air tight. Take it out from under the clothes & make sure the bag isn't sealed, but leave it where it is. Then should be well on your way.

NOO DO NOT WATER give a couple days to be sure. the leaves will droop when i gets real thirsty. make sure ur water is right too when you feed it.
(ph -----6.5-7,
temp ---room temperature,
technique ----water evenly and throughly but never around the stem it causes stem rot, wait 45 mins and check the drainage some time i water alittle more if it dosent drain a whole lot
and nutes if used-- dont over do it, use directed amounts and be sure to check the ph when your done with because some of them are not ph balanced.)
and you should be cool.

I agree with tryintogrow - don't water just yet. Glad to hear the plant is doing well.

Water the soil till the container has some weight to it or till you see it very slightly drip out of the drain hole(s).

I don't & have never tested my ph. I think that is one of those things that's extreme care - a plus probably, but not essential you know. Your next set of leaves should have 5 blades so keep it up.
