we usually just take some tap water, wet the paper towel, squeeze it a bit to get some of the excess water out, and then put the seeds in between the folded towel. Then we put it in a sandwich bag and leave it... open it once a day to check on them. Usually takes 2 to 3 days, and then we plant!

Germinating is easy, we've always been successful!

hey brez
these guy are right.
i would suggest to soak the seeds in water over nite ,no more than 24 hrs..paper towel should be just not dripping
i check mine about every 6-8 hours

Take a damp(room temperature) paper towel folded afew times, put the seeds in the paper towel and fold it back over so the seeds are covered. Now take the damp paper towel with the seeds in it and place it in a ceramic bowl. Take another ceramic bowl and place it upside down on top of the other bowl, take the two bowls and place it on something warm such as your computer modem or screen(providing its not a flatscreen) (the heat from the modem/screen or whatever else you use will keep the damp paper towl warm) have fun growing!:mrgreen:

Idk but the one time i tried putting it in water the seed sunk, what that means i have no idea but from what i've read they usually float.

Put them in a bowl of water and keep it in a warm spot, they wont drown. In fact, I believe the good seeds will float and when they germinate they will sink.BTW-I have experimented with some bag seed and I've seen a tap root grow an inch long in a bowl of water. When the seed has germinated, put the tap root downward into your medium and grow it. Good Luck!
