you want tissue paper wet but not dripping
put it in a plastic bag with a little air and seal it
keep it warm round 25c and dark
check it each day and if the paper has dry's a bit spray with some water, when you see the tap root about an 1" long
you can then put it into a soil or what you growing in
make a hole put the seedling in
you want the head/seed just above the soil and tap root straight down
push the soil in around the seedling but be gentle because its easy to kill but air round the root will not help
good luck

Outside the window? What the Hell! I've never heard of all that. I sprout in a old egg carton placed in a dark warm place. After a couple days they will begin to sprout. I let the tap root get 3 times the length of the seed. When I plant it I go about 1/2 inch down, I place the sprout tap root up, head down the hole. This makes the little bugger fight to turn over shed that hull and pop up. This takes 1/2 to 1 day longer all my plants start out this way with great success, can't remember when I planted a sproutling and it didn't come up healthy and strong.

yes you can get cheap humidifiers but his room is very hot and swamp cooler will cool the room a little and increase humidity
and if it has a ice tray it will help reduce a little more heat,
this could drop temp intern increase humidity
other humidifiers will increase temps and because of the raise in temp 1-2 c with will reduce humidity
so the humidifier will have less affect on the humidity, he will need to put out 3lts+ in the air a day to increase humidity by 5-10%

sounds good but it will increase his room temp

Not by any noticable amount. And with them you can control the humidity. Before I had a swamp cooler temps where 85 and 20%. desided I wanted the swamp cooler to fix both. And it did. Temps down under 80 and humidity up to 70%. but that's great for veg. In flower I ether had to deal with higher heat or higher humidity. Went back to the AC and a cheep 20 buck humidifier set under my fan. Basically made a humidity controlled swamp cooler. Got 78 and 40-50% all day. Got rid of it after I sealed the room and got Co2. had to get a dehumidifier. But that's getting off subject. But it also comes down to the size of the room. Swamp coolers arnt cheep and most of the time take up alot of room.

i can see where are cumming from and it sounds like you have a good set up
i use a swamp cooler because my humidity is 20% and my temp are round 32c
leaving my swamp cooler on Constance increased my humidity to 45 and drop the temp 2-3c down to 29-30 and an ac can cost more than adding two 600w lights to run
as his room looked big and it sounds like he lives somewhere like Australia surrounded by sand
his humidity must be very low
and so with that i thought a swamp cooler was the best thing for him

Damn!!!! I was going to flip to 12/12 today. But guess what? Fucken mites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well so much for that. Need to kill theses fuckers this week. Just did first mighty wash now. Next will be Monday. If I font see any decline it's dr doom time and mighty wash on thrusday. I don't have a choice. I can't flip after next Friday. I'm already gonna hate having 20 weeks of veg on some of my next plants. Guess it's more topping. Then I'll take top clones to stress them and slow the growth. Never slack on your preventive measures when you know you got a plant from a friend that had mites. Funny thing is they are mite free. It was my other ones that got it. Oh well life of a grower.
