1st soak your seeds in phed water for 24hrs, then I put mine in wet paper towel until a little Tap Root comes out then I split my rapid Rooter in half and then put my seed in the rapid Rooter Taproot down then I bury my rapid Rooter into my medium to the top of the rapid Rooter then just mist the dirt around the rapid Rooter
I germinated according to ILGM instructions and it worked well for me… which means, soak the seeds in a glass of water for 24 hours… then put in soil.
place the seeds only about an eighth to a quarter of an inch deep…or… a half centimeter if you use those measurements… they dont want to be too deep as it interferes with popping above the surface.
my last grow I soaked three seeds,…had one sprout in about six hours, another in less than 24 hours…and the third sprouted in just under 72 hours…
My last set of seeds I did the way @Oak suggestion that’s only because they are autos and Autos do not like to be transferred or transplanted I’m sorry and he’s correct I buried them about a quarter inch deep and two days later they were popping up out of the ground
