Germinating seeds

This is for any new growers out there. The first step in your plants life is germinating the seed. This is the process when u make the seed go from its dormant stage to sprout its first root. My method of doing this is to take a paper towel and get it moist, put as many seeds as you want to germinate in the paper towel, wrap it up good and put it inside a cup. add water until about a 1/4 of an inch of water remains at the bottom of the cup. Set the cup in a dark place, if u have a seed germinating heat pad, feel free to put it under the cup. Leave it be for 48 hours, then check. Most of the seeds should have germinated. Leave the once that didnt in there and add water, check again in 3 days. Best of luck!
