Put some in a solo cup, water, and bury a seed a 1/2" below then place in your grow space. Don't water, wait for it to pop the surface, don't water. Check after 5-7 days. Then water.
If you grow area isn't humid then you should put a dome on of some fashion. I like domes because you can see the moisture, so you know the humidity is high. It also helps the topsoil to stay a little more moist.
They dont need much light when breaking ground but I would watch not giving them any. If you slip up and wait too long to give them light, they will stretch. I had one last grow I didnt have the light on after it broke ground. I figured I would wait for the others to break ground also. next day it was about 6-8 inches long hanging over the cup.
