Good to see you have your beans Mr. Chen and also got a lot of freebies aswell
From what everyone's written you have a good starting point of info on how to start them and like everyone's mentioned almost all growers have their own certain method of germination.
The way I see it is germination has abit to do with medium, hydro, soil or coco and also photo or auto are main factors.
Like grizz said get your auto seeds straight to the pot you want it to finish in when its popped, probably one of the main pieces of advice to put to use with autos.
Now, when I was a soil grower I always used the damp paper towel in between to plates, then placed on top of, Xbox, ballast or something warm, then once cracked I would put straight into a 1/2l pot or so to start with(if auto it'd go straight into big pot).
Now with coco I soak the seeds in warm ph'ed water for 24hrs and then place straight in a small jiffy pellet, then I'd wait for her to sprout( if auto, once sprouted whole pellet would go into last pot medium now), for a photo plant is wait for her to sprout and also get abit of root growth out the bottom of the pellet before transplanting to next pot size.
Really most methods will work but when you spend money on seeds its not worth just throwing them in a full pot and hoping they'll work.
Best methods I've used are the glass of water soak, paper towel method and nowadays I'm always jiffy pellet sprouting them now
If your doing autos Mr.Chen it may be worth dropping over to Sparts journal if you havnt already, his good with his autos and can probably share a few tips and tricks with you
And no worries Grizz I'm glad I have people here who can chime in to help people out when I'm vacant from here
Plus since when have you spread misinformation haha
