Let me ask you question.When this weed propagates in the wild and covers massive expanses of land,what strategy do the plants use?moist warm soil is all you need.Now soaking the seeds for 12hrs first can hasten the process by softening the seed husk.These seeds will sprout on wet cardboard...I've even seen them sprout in an old tomato soup can that was tossed in the garbage.Don't over complicate things nature has done all the thinking for you.

i just use paper towels, spray w\h20 until a tail sprouts, then drop it (carefully) into medium. seems to work fine for me... i tried dropping in water overnight and only had 1 of 3 pop, so it scared me off wanting to try it again....but ive read countless ppl swear by it.

U have good advice here op, but dont follow using the hammer or stepping on them. Lmfao. But like others sed the best way is to mimic nature, in nature they just fall from the plant in the dirt and grow. Good luck!! im 37 years old now but when i was like 14 i used to put seeds in my moms pots inside the house, and they always grow like for 2 weeks and die for the lack of light, i didn't understand why they always die but now i know!! Sorry for the story kind of smacked now. Lmfao

STEP ONE: Day 1
Presoak seeds in a glass of plain (distilled) water for 24 hours.
Do not soak longer or they could rot. At first seeds will float on
top of the water. As water penetrates they sink to the bottom.
Within a few hours, seeds will sink to the bottom of the
container. Seeds found floating the following day are probably
not viable.
A small, white rootlet often emerges from strong
viable seeds.

STEP TWO: Day 2
Use a dinner plate or a
small container with a
grate. A grate lets excess
water drain away. If
using a plate, tip it to
drain off excess water.

STEP THREE: Days 5-8
Once seeds have sprouted and the
white sprout is visible, they are
ready to be moved into the growing
medium. Seeds that do not show a
white rootlet now may never
germinate. Do not throw them out,
plant them. But such seeds might
never germinate, and if they grow
they could turn into weak plants.
Set a paper towel or cheesecloth on
the plate or grate and moisten it
with distilled water until saturated.
Pour the water out of the glass and
place the seeds on the moist paper
towels and cover the seeds with
three more moist paper towels.
Drain off all excess water and put
the moist seeds in a shadowy, warm
location (70°-90°F, [21o-32°C]).
The top of a refrigerator is ideal.
Check daily and keep evenly moist
but not soggy. Do not let seeds dry
out or let water stand so oxygen is
cut off to seeds. Let excess water
drain away freely.

STEP FOUR: Days 5-8
Prepare a seed flat, Jiffy or rockwool cubes, etc. for planting
sprouted seeds. Fill the seed flat with a store-bought seedling
mix or make your own SO/ SO mix of fine perlite and peat moss
or coco peat.
Water the mix in the flat with plain
water until it is completely saturated;
water should run freely from
the drainage holes in the bottom
when the medium is saturated.
Seedlings do not have enough stored
energy to force through too much
soil before sprouting. Plant seeds
twice as deep as the width of the
seed. For example, plant an eighthinch
(3 mm) seed O.2S-inch (6 mm)
deep. Make small indent about
O.2S-inch (6 mm) in the growing
medium, one for each seed in
individual containers.
Cover the sprouted seed with a
O.2S-inch (6 mm) layer of fine,
moist planting mix.
Use tweezers and carefully remove
each sprouted seed and set it in the
premade planting hole. Take care
not to expose the tender rootlet to
prolonged intense light or air. Point
the white root downward.
Once covered, gently press the
soil into firm contact with the
sprouted seed.

Once planted, set the flat or rooting cubes of sprouted seedlings
under the lamp. The photo above shows clones
on the left and seedlings on the right.
Seeds set inside rockwool blocks often heave up and out.
Germinate seeds before planting and make sure the white
rootlet is at least D.S-inch (1.S cm) long to avoid this
common problem.
STEP FIVE: Days 10-14
In four to six days after planting, most
of the seeds will have broken through
the planting mix or emerged from the
root cube.
After seven to ten days, all the seedlings
will have cotyledon leaves and
many will have their first set of true
leaves.
Within a couple of days of
emerging, the first smooth,
non-serrated cotyledon leaves
emerge. Some seedlings will
show their first signs of "true
leaves" with the classic cannabis
serrations and pointed tips.
In 10 to 14 days all the seedlings
should have true leaves that are
the same size or larger than
cotyledons.
Some growers apply a mild
(quarter-strength) fertilizer, but
it is not necessary for another
week. Most important now is to
keep the soil evenly moist.

Miracle Gro Moisture Control Potting Soil.Blow off the nutes because they won't be in it long enough to matter.In whatever you like - peat cups etc.On a heated seedling mat and cover.In 3 days you have plants. Or do shit like Steps 1 through 48 above.
