Been doin seeds for about 4 year now buddy and never had a reliable seedbanks seed die on me. I will tell you what i do by no means am i saying that this is the best way just a successful way that i am firmiliar with. Take a video case ( yes black VHS case or simular) and get a roll of none scented toilet paper. Unroll the toilet paper and make a strip the same length of the container about an inch thick and then do the same with another peice. Put the first bit of toilet paper in and then wet it with warm water ( usually the heated water will have been sitting in the boiler for a bit and alot of the alkalines will already have been evapurated) . Then make wee dints in toilets roll to sit the seeds in, place the seeds in and then cover with the other bit of toilet roll. Then soak with water, you can let any excess water drain out of the case. Close the case And place somewhere warm, i place mines under a heater. You want the toilet paper to feel warm to the touch you wont need to wet again, wait 2 or 3 days and the seeds should have a root about an inch long. Take the rockwool cube fill with soil compact it, make a hole in it with a pencil, place the seed in very gently and then cover the seed with soil. Use water to compact the soil around the seed, place under a light add some rhizotonic or simular (not needed but helps, i only use about half strength) and about 1 or 2 days later it will have popped out of the cube.
I think that heat is the key for speed a seed baking in the soil will reach quite a high temperature.
seed in rockwool, two died i think due to being waterlogged, however the third one appears to be going strong, it looks as if the seed is being pushed to the top of the rockwool does this mean that it is growing?
a couple of days after it popping out of the rockwool, if it still hasnt fell off see if u can gently remove it, if it doesnt come off easily wait a day or two then try the same again.
