Needed - a roll of quilted paper towels, flat microwave glass plate with a raised edge, a spray bottle filled with warm water and a towel. Sterilize plate with hot water and pat dry. Tear off 1 paper towel and place over the glass plate. Spray with sprayer until all the towel is wet. Take the towel and gently pat the top towel so you erase most of the wrinkles. Place second paper towel directly over the first one. Spray and pat. Third paper towel gets the same treatment. After the first 3 layers are down, sprayed and patted go to the bottom of the plate and turn up one corner. This will help you separate the sheets to check their progress on days 2 and 3. Spread your beans on the third PT and leave a good inch to 1 1/2 between each seed. I put the seeds in the top half of the plate with their identification directly below. Now you place 3 more PTs, one at a time, sprayed and patted down. Place plate and all in a large plastic sealable slider bag. Germing seeds need carbon dioxide so I blow a large breath into the bag just before sealing. Bag and all sits on a dark shelf. 48 hours later I check and expect to find most if not all have cracked their shell caps. Re-blow and back to the shelf or 24 hours. By day 3 most all have a single white root growng an inch to 1 1/2 inches long. Plant in solo cups. Good luck, BigSteve

I get a 100% germination rate by sticking a seed in a soaked piece of rock wool then burying it in soil. Works every time and takes 2 minutes.

People that dont get a good germination rate either fuck this up or the seeds are bad.. Because germination isnt hard at all...
