I never done any of that.i just pop em in paper towel,pop em in dirt put em under lights and hang wet towels in grow area never getting below 52% humidity.done 27 like that and only lost 3 and they were all the same strain and breeder(not gonna mention)but them seeds molded and never made it out the paper towels.thats just how I do it ,theres many ways I just usually pick the laziest,haha
