To each their own though of coarseI don't even soak , strait into an organic soil mix. I never plant seeds more than 3/8". I have soaked seeds but have better luck just straight into dirt.
I agree with you there , it is a good way to ah hum " weed" out the duds. LolThe only reason I even soak is to weed out the duds. Hate planting a ton of seeds and then never seeing some pop the surface. Never had this issue since I've started soaking seeds. 100% success rate with just a straight water soak and into the dirt.
Getting a seed to pop is the easy part and shouldn't be complicated. Getting a plant through to harvest, now that's the real achievement.

Definitely rinse. Check your water first to verify ppm level. I rinse my coco (super cheap shit from the pet store) five to six times, final two rinses with RO water until the EC drops to .1. On the Hanna ppm scale you want sub 200 ppm. pH to around 6. Then preload with 1/4 strength nutrient solution. Make sure to add CalMag right away too, the high P content of coco fucks with the levels otherwise. There's a big thread about this on here, search for it in the coco section.

Soaking seeds in the root and nute pack solution will help them fight off damping off/fusarium/pyhtium etc. as they grow in to little seedlings. A 30 minute soak with 1 gram of each root and nute packs in 100 mL of water will do the trick.
