Problems with germination

[Gary Laser Eyes]

I have these seeds I was germinating for three days in wet paper towel between two plates however it was quite cold in the house the whole time. I put them in a water glass for a few hours and they sank, I put them in the paper towel again but they still arent showing any signs of sprouting. Should I give up and try different seeds or keep trying?

my, my... welp, u've got some choicez...and none of em involve paper towelz, lol i honestly don't understand why so many peepz insist on the paper towel method, becuz it'z totally unnecessary & a bad risk besidez as for the beanz ur dealin with atm, jus g'head & stick em in the dirt, keep the soil moist with a mister 3-4 timez daily, and they'll sprout...probly in a day'z time i'd bet, since they've presoaked for so long already i meself jus drop a bean into a shotglass of spring water, put it up on a shelf in the dark for 36 hrz, then, whether it'z sank or not, whether it'z sprouted a tail or not (uzually not in both casez), in the dirt it goez...i keep the soil misted & they sprout in 2-3 dayz, every time in all fairness tho, a bean can also jus be put straight into the dirt, and as long as the dirt is kept moist, it'll sprout ppp

Germination is the simpliest part of growin IMO....
Way back when, I went through some of the complicated methods to get a seed to pop...then 'joila! Nature doesn't do all that ....
100% germ can't be beat which is what I get regardless strain, breeder or distributor.
Simple is:
Using biobizz light mix the whole grow, I place seeds right out of the pack into moistened medium, place on a heat pad, with a humidity dome...2-4 days all are popped.
This simple method doesn't include soaking, paper towels, dvd case, or fertility chants which I'm sure wouldn't improve my 100% germ rate.

Agree, treat the time upto now like a presoak @Jack north as @420Forever says, "plant 'em", a few mm down and spray a few times with ph'd water, they'll be up before you know it.

They need warmth, so put them on something warm like a satellite receiver next time. Or buy a heat mat.

Thanks for the advice everyone turns out I was just being a tad impatient they both popped and I planted them today.

I'll try that next time seems alot better.

Warm soil cannot be beat.
If the seeds are like 5 or 10 years old and the gift from God. You could consider using a 2% mix of GBA.
But I'd recommend practicing on cheap seed first to get your knowledge tuned first.

When should I put the light on them when they sprout?
