planning on trying paper towel/ coffee filted method in containers instead of baggies.I will also use conventional germination this year,but want to experiment a little bit.So in containers is it necessary to cover seeds or can i just place seeds on paper towel/coffee filter then cover container with a lid(similar to Juanitos technique),also is it advisable to soak seed prior to placing in containers?Thanks in advance for any and all advice and your wisdom.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

I use coffee filters as they are more dense and the roots are less apt to grow into the medium.
I just started some pequin seeds in between damp paper towels in a Tupperware with lid on today. Also just threw some out in the garden. I didn't soak any of the seeds, I heard it was optional so I'll try when I start my next round. Keep updated!
I have always used the bags in the past. Â Might try some of those small clear containers this year. Â Would be much easier to just look through a clear lid to see if they have sprouted yet or not. Â Only concer is with small baggies, I can get a lot of varieties in their own bags in a small area. Â Might need more room and might be more challenging for me to control temps with this method, but looks promising.
