When I mess up and that happines I plant them...I rarely get any show up, but hey some do so it cant hurt (IMHO).

I wanna try paper towels placed in a strainer and my seeds on top and then a layer right on the top of the strainer, then put the strainer under a faucet and turn on the water to where it is just a little warm so it drips on the papertowels and see what happines.

I forget where I noticed that method, but it sounds good to me.

Red face paper towel can be kept moist,
permalink

by laying it in a saucer two layers thick, [double layer is easier to handle and does not tear]

spread some seeds,

putting another double layer of paper towel,

moistening by pouring a little bit of water in. just a bit, enough to saturate paper towel; not a lake lol.

and covering with a peice of glass, so whole saucer is covered.

3-5 days later seeds are popped and ready to go. good luck nigel

don't complicate seed germination

get soil put in pot
water soil so you dont have dry spots
make hole not far at all down in middle of soil
cover seed and water where the seed was
put the cup / pot in a humidity dome with heat pad under for faster germination

i put them in a cup (wet towels and seeds) then crumple up a small plastic bag and put on top the towels.

keeps the towels wet and yet have bit air.

though usually now i just put them straight in soil , small 1-2 inch pots. you can also take those and put in a plastic bag to keep wet. the air inside is sufficient till the seedlings appear.

less chance of a shock or them stalling.
