    Dunno if you're soil or hydro but I used to soak in water, works ok IMHO, but a friend showed me that if you get a fairly small plastic cup and put seed starting soil already mixed with decent amount of water(don't make mud), poke a lil spot in soil, put a seed in and cover it with some plastic wrap to trap all the moister in there, keep them warm under the light, then when you start to see it comin outta the soil pull the plastic off. It made a big difference for me and really got my seeds goin with more vigor and better germ ratio

    That simulates more a real life situation for the seed. I will try it with other seeds.
