When you start germinating seeds the seed will start to awaken. Water is a must here, as soon as the seed absorbs enough water the seed will start to form a root system. Then the seed will start to break through its shell. You have various options for the process of germinating.
The first option is presoaking. You do this by putting some moist tissues on a plate the place the seeds on top of them and with a layer of moist tissues. Then cover that plate with another upturned plate, so that the seeds are in darkness and this also helps keep the seeds moist. (Keep the seeds in a warm area). You will want to check the seeds every day and sprinkle the tissues if necessary. Carefully transplant the seeds when they sprout and the tip of the root becomes visible. Plant the seed in a growing medium (soil or rock-wool), approximately the size of the seed under the surface about 5 mm.
Your second option is to sow your seed in a medium, place the seeds under the surface in the growing medium approximately the size of the seed. Then position the seeds in soil where they are pointed end up. Regularly sprinkle the growth medium with water, but make sure that the soil or the rock-wool does not become too wet. The seedlings will use spare food present for growing. Air is very important for its metabolism. So you will want to make sure that the soil remains airy. Remove the cover as soon as the seedlings reach above the medium. Both options work very well, we at http://AdvancedNutrientsShop.com find using the wet paper towel method is the easiest. Enjoy gardening!
