Yeah I usually start with warm water , write on the paper towel what the seed is , place it then cover them with another squeezed out warm paper towel.

When taking them for a swim in solos!
Regardless of method, too much water is no bueno.I found misting paper towels worked better for me than trying to soak and squeeze em out. Think I was using them too wet. Have had 100% rate since misting the towels
I wouldn't use a heating mat without a controller. All you need is heat in the low 70's ... 72F is usually considered ideal. Not much heat. Room temp ... that's all you need.Heating mats are always better with a thermostat/controller, no matter the intended usage.
I've been germinating in GH Rapid Rooter plugs and they seem to pop quicker than any other method I've used. Plus, once the tap root shows from the bottom of the plug, you place right in soil, coco, hydroton, etc. They are, of course, great for rooting clones, too!
87 is too hot! try 72f. Myself and others mentioned this earlier in the thread ... do you want to kill your seed?Success ! Planted , getting some wicked warm soil temp now , that's just sitting in the porch!
Thanks for all the help!

Yes and. I usually just sit them outside . I have bigger pots for later . Got started a month later than last year . Ran same guys last year.So you just put seed in them and water them?
Do you need a little pot for them?
Put them under a light?
Ok to clarifySo you just put seed in them and water them?

They fit perfectly in seed starting trays... Those small wedge looking ones, not the 2-in wider ones. The plugs come pre moistened, but I mix a super weak veg solution and soak them for about 30 minutes and then gently squeeze the excess out of them. I have a dome that I put the smaller seedling trays into, with the heating mat underneath the dome base itself, and I set it to 77° f.So you just put seed in them and water them?
