Straight to medium is the best way imo I use rockwool cubes

I remember as a kid in school terming a seed in a jar with a rolled up piece of paper pressing it against the inside out the jAr. A small amount of water was added to the bottom of the jar and allowed to wick up the paper. How overcomplicated is that lol

Tissues dissolve easier.
If your making this commitment, go get some paper towels
Better yet go get some rockwool

I tried rockwool coz I wrecked a pack of shiva in paper towels. I have 100% success so I won't change. There's a lot of research on why straight to medium is better but if I was u I wouldn't fix something that's not broken

Germinating straight in the dirt works for me. If you have it use a light seed starting soil. If not, just thin your soil with a little perlite or vermiculite. Warming the soil increases germination too. I use a cheapie window seal heat mat and put the seed in a small plastic cup. I water the seed in a bit, then place an identical clear plastic cup ontop of the other. Then onto the heat mat. You'll see the top cup cloud up making a nice humidity dome! Then just leave it, the dome will keep fans from drying up your medium quickly.

I think as well that the tissues may dissolve pretty easy. I always germ right in a solo cup of my dirt.

I'm a newb but 100% germ rate. 12-24hrs soaked in tap water in the dark. Then moist paper towel. Put the bean in the towel so it is fold. I found the tap root follows this fold and stays very straight. I put this in a chinesse food container wrap it in a black shirt throw it on the cable box (it's warm) and the next day it sprouts. I wait until it's about 3/4" and put that straight into clay pebbles. It's easy and it's free not rockwool no rapid rooters just science. I am however super careful and clean with the babies so maybe it's not for everyone

If you are unsure or a little iffy just pop your seeds into some moist soil. Trust me they'll pop. And you won't have the worry of injuring the tap root.
