While there are many ways to germinate or "pop" seeds, the one we recommend for the best possible results, time and time again, is the paper towel in a Ziplock with 1% Hydrogen Peroxide method. If the seed is pop-able, it will pop this way.
Start with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide available from your local store. Simply make a solution of 3 parts bottled water to 1 part Hydrogen Peroxide. For example, and this will be a practical amount, measure 15ml water in a beaker, then add 5ml H2O2 bringing it up to 20ml total. That's your 1% mix and a good amount for one bag with a little pour off.
Next and very important is to wrap the bag in a small hand towel and place the towel on something warm. We have a piece of audio gear that is "on" all the time, and it gets just a little warm on top. Look around to see if you have anything that's always warm that might work. If not, you may want to get a seed heating pad, they're fairly inexpensive.
Fold towel like this first...
Then like this.
Be sure to label your bag, then add the seeds.
Add your solution, blow a little air in and seal it up.
Wrap this up in a small towel and place it somewhere warm. Seeds can take anywhere from 24hrs to 10 days, but most will pop on day 2 and 3. That's it.
