I have used tap water and distilled water with equal success. ^ what method are you using?

you are wasting money there mate. You will not get any better results using sparkling water.

Replicate what happens in nature and u'll have no worries. Soaking in water never happens in the wild, and for good reasons called mold and fungus.
Straight in the soil. No need to make it more complicated than it should be. Weed is very easy to germinate and even easier to grow.

no man, the light being on would not be the cause. Seeds germ in the wild with sun light, so having your lights on is not the problem.

Dude the best method I've used is to soak a paper towel with clean water until its wet, but not too wet!
place the seeds into the towel, and put the towel on a plastic plate.
put the plate on top of a certain heat source, like a dvd player or something. within 24 hours it should sprout. Ive read the best temperature for sprouting is around 85 to 90 degrees F.
Cheers

DaBeat problem isn't with getting taproot to show as I place in shot glass on top 360 and block out light works great once they go into the soil they never sprout I've used party cups and rapid rooters and peat pellets seeds were diesel riders northern lights from seedsman and a few free fems from attitude

The paper towel method is just being downright nasty to your seeds. There are tiny hairs on the taproot, which can and will damage these. Healthy taproot means healthy plant. As said previously stick as close to nature as possible. Straight into soil or jiffy plugs. Read up on the subject and you will see where i am coming from.
Anybody has a link to crackerjacks germination thread last night I started remaing 3 dieselriders and 4 freebes from attitude and 5 northernlights from seedsman lightly scuffed the seeds with emory board tossed into fox farm soil lightly covered sprayed with spray bottle tossed in warm dark cubie so I'll give it a few days planing on ordering more seeds
