This is how I germ test all of my seeds before they go out...When i germinate I do not soak the seeds in water first or put them in a moist paper towel like some folks....Instead I put them directly into the soil around one quarter of an inch to half inch max deep....I then soak the soil real good with water and place them under the T5's to keep them warm.....I spray the top of the soil with water every once in a while to make sure that the soil doesnt dry out....They break through the soil in around 2.5 - 4 days.....I have very good germ rates this way.....Just straight into the soil like mother nature intended....I used to soak my seeds first in water but i think if you keep them in the water too long they could drown...I also have never had to scuff any seeds yet either....All seeds are germ tested this way with excellent results....~ogr
