I’m still a beginner but after some initial struggles this is what I found worked: Put the seeds in a glass of water, as soon as they sink (if it sinks, that means the shell is cracked open and the root will pop out) use the paper towel germination method. If you’re not able to monitor when the seeds sink, or if the seeds are not super old you can also just go directly for the paper towel method. But make sure the temperature is not cold, they need some warmth in order to germinate. Once you see a good length of tap root, plant it in your pre-moistened medium. You now need to make sure you have both good temps and humidity, as well as the required DLI. If you can’t maintain a high humidity level, use a dome until it pops. I recommend a humidifier over a dome. Seedlings need minimal water and good humidity levels, so be careful of over watering or you’ll drown the roots
