I got 6 seeds from a friend and want to know how long it will take. Its been about a day and i wrapped them in a moist paper towel and put it in a zip lock bag. Do the seeds have to be totally green? they may be no good but i dont know how to check. any help?

Just put them in a warm dark place. Give them time. Some will crack and sometimes not.
Don't rush it.

Also "Just sayin" if you don't want to wait, throw them in a cup of distilled water, when they sink to the bottom, they're ready to plant, usualy 24 - 36 hours. I got impatient and didn't wait for mine to sink planted her and she still came up ^^

The seed should crack open anywhere between 5 and 10 days. I just germinated my first batch of seeds with the paper towel method and they all cracked by day 4.
