I agree when it’s warm they pop sooner. I keep them in a Tupperware inside of my make-up case. I sit the case in the bathroom because it’s alwat warm there. 12 hours later they’re out . Had about 99% success rate.
I do my seeds in worm castings they pop very fast. I do not them water I mist them a lot or they all will float back up to the surface and all look like commas floating up. I also use a heating pad the only pain is every two hours you must reset the pad back to on. I do a light burial as the poops are hard to lift for the seeds.

With my current mthod of germination i usually get around 75% germ rate and i was wondering what are some other ways people germinate seeds? Im hoping to find a method that is closer to 100% germination.

My method:
Place seeds in paper towel, moisten, place paper towel in sandwich baggy and then put them in a dark place that stays around 70°f constant.
I've just germinated 10 gelatos with 100% success and they germinated in just under 2 days.. I left them in a little container with water in covered up with a black bag and put in my grow tent for 18 hours..the shells was all cracked open. Then I wet some kitchen roll and rinsed it out so it was just damp an not soaked..put in a big sealer bag then inside a black back and back in grow tent for 24hours.

13/13 here.

Soak water 24 hours, at the 12 hour mark push down with finger so they sink.

Put in Tupperware wrapped in two damp paper towels. Put lid on Tupperware only tight 75% of the way for some ventilation.

Put Tupperware on top of warm cable box

What you will have is an incredibly humid environment. Within a day all tap roots at least half inch.
