i soak my seeds over night in peroxide the next day i pour oof all excess leave just enough to keep wet all on heating pad in the dark
once mine split i put into red beer cup i wet up about a 3/4 full of starter soil no nutes in it
i take a pencil stick it down trhe center untill about one inch from bottom for tap root to grow into with no resistance
i sprinckle a little soil on top of my hole then place my seed in root down sprinkle a little more soil on top about 1/4 inch worth then mist the spot rest of pot still moist
then i cover with cerran wrap or a baggie with a couple of tiny holes for air held down with a rubberband
i place that cup on a heating pad at 80 degrees leave until plant breaks surface normally three days
i normally start nutes at week 2 very very weak less then 1/4 strenth
i keep on heating pad till transplant normally three weeks

thats my shit step by step normally about 90 percent success
good luck

Really, you should start them in that rockwool germ kit and clone kit. Then they root in it and there isnt no shock to them and there isnt a chance of braking them when put in soil.

Whats up N.C. triad area here, I do the same way. I just place seeds in either rockwool, or starter cubes soaked in a ph'd h202 solution depending on whether i'm doing hydro or soil.
That's not to say its the best way, just a personal pref. due to fact i kept hitting tap roots1 way or another.

Viable seeds need moisture and warmth to germinate. It doesn´t matter if they are in soil, paper tissue, rockwool or whatever. Some people soak them beforehand, doesn´t do any harm, but I have never found it to make any difference, either.
Nor does it matter if you put them in the dark or not.
What does matter is that they are mature seeds - grey or brown in colour, thay can have spots or stripes as well. And they are not too old - I have found they lose viability after about 5 years.
