I would like to get some feedback from other growers that sprout their seeds
between paper towels. I put the seeds between moist paper towels after
soaking in a dilute kelp solution, then in a ziplock over a heating pad
keeping the temperature at 85 degrees.(First I filed the edges.) They have
been there now for 3 days and I do not see any sign of sprouting. Since I
never tried this method of germination with AG seeds before I don't know
what
to expect. The reason for using this method was due to the "valueable" and
limited seed stock that I wanted to plant. Am I impatient, or should they
sprout soon?

I have used that method except I put them in front of a hot air heating vent.
I used it to test the viability of the 560 "Living Dead" seeds (1006 x
1006). They started sprouting in 48 hours.
