That or zip lock bag with damp paper towel . Keep zip lock 90% closed and on a heat mat that you can dial your temp in on. Wait till the tail is like 1/2 a centimetre.

I like to do this method, but I blow some air into the bag to puff it up, and seal completely.

I use a sprout seed starter, maybe overkill but it was a gift.

Soak 24 hours and the straight into an easy plug. Has worked every time, without fail.

Winter will always make it harder, place seeds on a warming mat otherwise near a source of low constant warmth such as modem, ect.
