No Germ?

Can i skip germination and just put the seed in soil? If so what are the ups and downs of doing so?

you can do this yes, all you have to do is make sure the soil is constantly moist so that the seed will germ in the soil. seeds dont germ in dry soil. germination is faster. what i do is just throw seeds (anything, even sunflowers) into a shotglass of water, and when they crack open and i can see the first root, i stick em in some soil, has never failed me

If i was you i would not put the seeds straight into soil. It will only take a few days and by doing it you dont have to wait for ages to see a sprout if it wont germinated. If that makes sense.

as these guys said u can chuck them straight into soil just make sure the soil stays wet! the reason i prefer papper towels then soil is because i no that seed has already sprouted and there for im not wasteing time/soil

Id germinate them first.. But you could just toss them in the soil. Like everyone said keep it moist

i started using rapid rooting pellets and will never go back, straight into hydrated pellets and keep an eye on temps 100% germ rate
