I have read somewhere for people who want a fast/successful germination rate for their seedlings to put them in a bucket for 24 hours then put them in a saucepan, boil the water (with the seeds in it) for 15 min, then turn off the heat and let em settle in the saucepan-pot for a couple min. Then youd see long stems growing out of the seeds, is this true? Been reading that a lot lately

Thats what i said but when you look it up, there are few different pictures out their of some growers who had a centimeter or two coming out of the seed

I don't get why germination is so hard in the first place. I simply put a seed in a piece of presoaked rockwool then stick the rockwool cube in Plagron grow mix. Bam, 100% germination rate! No soaking, no scuffing, no rolling it between my fingers like a booger. Just a healthy seedling without all the fuss.

Do not boil your seed. An easy way is to soak 8hrs in tap water and place properly in your medium. Make sure to check your cars blinker fluid so you don't get pulled over.
