Wetting the seeds is a good way to increase the percentage of germinating seeds and increase the speed of germination. There are several ways to germinate by wetting, in one way or another they are similar to each other, here are the two main, most popular “Towel Method” (one of the variations of Sanchez actually) and “Normal Wetting” (wetting in a cup or some similar container), both give the same good result if the hands grow from where they should (the spine appears in about a day).
