Germination of seeds

Have use pre-soak method, the paper towel method, planted in rockwool - for seed germination, having no luck at all, maybe bad seeds? What method do you use? Thanks for your answer, really bummed out! thinking about buying one of those germination dome with heat pad, ect Help with germination any "special" hints/methods?

i leave my seeds in a glass of PH'D water in a dark warmish place for roughly 1 to 2 days until i see the root pop out, and the place into roughly a inch hole in soil or whatever you use, take a couple of days to sprout but never had a seed fail

Thanks! I'll try that , but what about tempature (heat) needed to germinate, or do not worry about it? Thanks again (place on top of water heater?, no?)

germination in soil reduces handling the seedling. most seeds that don't germ were sowed too deep. less than an eighth of an inch deep always works for me. using a mist bottle reduces the risk of over watering. keep the soil slightly moist not wet. GL

Just put them in water, most should sink/crack in 24hr..sounds like u got some bad beans tho

What about "rockwool" cubes for germination?

don't touch your seeds.
use a rooting/cloning solution
Scuff
soak till the seeds sink, 12-24hrs
Moist paper towel (NOT WET) in a warm place top fridge or water heater zip lock bag in the dark 12-48hrs (Check it every 12hrs)
Use tweezers to sow your seed flush with your growing medium.

GOOD LUCK
