Let me first say that the folks at ILGM are great. I had serious problems with the first batch but Stacy at ILGM quickly sent out 10 more auto seeds!
So I have a glass with about 2 inches of RO water, dropped in three seeds. At was approximately 5 pm, July 16,2016, EST.
Sunday at 5 pm I will place all three in peat plugs inside of a seed starting tray.
The plan is to place the three seeds in Peat starters. After two weeks, I will place them in a larger “Jiffy” peat pot. I am trying to decide what type of soil medium to use. I plan to place these seedlings into 5 gallon smart pots. I was thinking of using coco coir but, even after searching the forums, I can’t decide. What I think I may do is get a couple of bags of Fox Farms soil, vermiculite and some peat. I will layer the the three products within the pots, mixing Fox Farms and vermiculite. Using about two thirds of the pot and have the peat on the top third. I am concerned about the mix being to “hot” so that’s why I am doing it this way.
Beginning week at the end of week two or the beginning of week three, I will start feeding at 1/4 strength with Fox Farm trio.
That’s the plan for the first 30 days! 
Do they look ready for soil or do they need more time in water? This was at 9 am 7/17/2016
Hiya, and welcome…I have never soaked the seeds in water for more than 20-24 hours…time for stage 2, imo.
I’ve waited until they crack open and send a white taproot out 0.25-0.50"; drop in soil w/ this root down. Wait for magic to occur.
Hiya radamsonilgm…I always thought soaking in a glass of water was to to get just a little moisture through the seed husk to start growing? Too much moisture and no air can cause the root to drown before it cracks that shell?
That’s why I take the seeds out of water before 24 hours.
Right, it won’t be 24 hours until 5pm EST
That sounds right; I then go to damp paper towel; Didn’t mean to imply keeping in water until taproot forms…
75 degrees and 59% Relative humidity
I had the lid off, so now I am waiting to see if the temps go up any before I place the one that has opened in the peat
Looks good. I just did 3 as well and had two pop, I put them in peat at about the same stage and no dice so far. 
Yours will probably do better though.
Well it’s Monday morning, 6:22am 7/18/2016
I think the slight rise in temps are due to A/C not running as much over night. But I have the tray right near the vent so when it does come on temps will drop. I hope this will not impact sprouting!
