Ok so I've read that if you soak seeds until they sink then plant into coco/soil or wet a paper towel an put in a air tight baggie.. I've done both and 0/6 of the 1st made it An I've got 6 more in a baggie under a light bulb for heat.. is it better to do it in the dark or should I keep the light on? and could I sow into rapid rooters for about a week or 2 before going into coco?

Im not sure about that air tight baggy method, seems suspect. It might work though, i use paper towel after soaking in a cup for 2 days.
If its cold the cup is on a heat mat of around 22 degrees c. then wet paper towel with some breathing space. i used to get good results but im a bit rusty.
Onece tap roots show put em in jiffy pellets or rockwool cubes.

Just put it in your medium and keep the temps right and as high humidity as you can get.

Forget all that paper towel bullshit

This is the best way, no messing around and taking chances on damaging your sprouts when transplanting. High humidity is key

How fast your beans sprout and take root will depend on the strain genetics, as well as environment. In optimum conditions, most strains seem to root in 7-14 days, some take slightly longer.

Nice plugs, btw... rockwool can bring issues.

I just put my seeds in a coffee cup of tap water. Cover it so it's dark and check every day. When I get a little taproot I put it in my medium. Super e as y. Just need to be gentle with it.
