Germenating seeds advice please

I had about ten seeds sitting in a damp napkin for about three days and saw no change so i put them under a light and still havent seen any change am i doing something wrong?? And if there is better ways to prepare your seeds for growing please tell me

Your germinating seeds should be placed in the dark & should stay between 75-80 degrees for optimum results. However I have had seeds sprout after 5 days. Sometimes it helps to lightly scuff the surface of the seed with a scotch brite before you begin sprouting. Good Luck

ill try that out thanks
