Got some bad news AFN.......I just cannot get anything to germ???.......wtf?

You giving them the basics?i fold paper towels in half and cut 2”x3” squares. I always add a pinch of great white when i put the seeds in the paper towels, spray them good with pure distilled water and tilt the plate and shake off any excess water, the paper towels seem to hold enough water on their own. Then i cap them with those syran wrap mini shower caps and give them a couple days anywhere warmer than 70 degrees, i put them in a cupboard on a south facing wall that gets sunn all day and have great results. I have ended up with better results since i stopped soaking the seeds, but still do it for a few hrs if im using root riot plugs instead of paper towels. Anyway i know you know whats up, just wasnted to share what has been giving me 90%+ germ rates year round. I just ran a bunch of seeds and had great results, heres pics of my very basic setup.

Man and I know you know how to grow. Man O Green had germ issues, so did someone else recently, and I am also on my second seed that hasn't popped. I like but also loathe all the astrology type stuff but, is there some planetary misalignment going on that's fouling us all? Hahahaha

If your mat is broke, use the heat from a modem/cable box/behind the fridge, there is something where you are producing constant low temp heat I guarantee it! Good luck fam!
