Hey everyone
Hearing of all of the methods used in starting seeds is great and would
like to share my method. File the edges down, soak in a warm paper towel
covered with handy rap until they pop a root or severely swell. I plant
them in a gallon pot and place them into an large ice chest. Next place
two one gallon jugs of hot water from the hot water heater at both ends
of the large cooler. Filling them morning and night, this will sustain a
fairly constant humid temperature of 75-85*. Using this method from a
well known grower I have had seeds pop up within 48 hrs. of starting the
process. This really works well, you do have to be careful on the amount
of moisture, they don't need much and the seedlings have to be pulled out
soon after emerging and placed into the light.
