I will pay top dollar for top quality because I can then clone it till the cows come home.
I love the paper towel method, works great every time. Just take 2 plain white paper towels and lay one out on a plate and lightly wet it with 80 degree water, then set the seeds in place a few inches apart. Lay the other paper towel over it and wet them again with 80degree water. just enough to thoroughly wet the towels but not have them swimming. Then gently slide them into a 1 gallon freezer baggie and put it inside of a dark colored caserole dish or between 2 plates turned so that they don't mash the seeds. Then put that some place where it will stay dark and maintain 75-80degrees. give it 48hrs undisturbed before gently checking them. If they have cracked and a sprout is coming out, you can go ahead and set them in your medium and go from there.
I have great success with that method. Good luck and green growing mojo to ya
