Ya it’s honestly the worst pest I’ve ever really had, cayenne is such a simple fix that don’t disturb nothing and no buds that young to make em spicy lol
Yeah I use cayenne as top layer with crushed walnut shell. A box of walnut sandblasting materials lol seems to work.

Well it’s been 4 days since we planted that afgoo x strawberry banana together on this post
Well we all know everyone wants to see results with methods used so here we are
I do this but keep mine in the dark inside 
I like a spray bottle to moisten them because it doesn’t move the seeds/soil around like it does with pouring.

Same… I’d say I’m like a 90% success rate

And for my next trick
Dig out the hole and put the cup in place, shake pot so soil levels out
Pull the cup and u have a perfect mold for what ur about to drop in
Pop the soil clump out the cup
Drop in the hole and give the bag another shake.
Seedling transplanted without ever disturbing the roots or the plant ever noticing a thing
Throw a label and some cayenne to ward off the ants and walk away and let it grow

Really nice thread you got here! 
I got a nice lil trick I picked up somewhere for the damp towel method. I always use sandwich bags and put the towel in there. Then i blow it like a balloon and put them in a warm and dark place. I always had really good results with this. I also usually put them in water first for 24 hours.
But also did it straight to towels and it also worked well, but soaking them first gives me a better feeling

Thanks for this @planted_Vains! I will have to try the blowing air into the bags. I was seeing good success in the warmer weather when there was condensation on the inside of the bag, now with the winter here I may need all the help I can get

Just lay it on top of your internet router or some other warm surface. Mine usually pop in a day or two using the bag and paper towel method. Make sure you don’t have any leaks!

I hold the container a little above the router to avoid drying out to fast and cooking the seeds.

I do mine the way @AzSeaindooin420 does his. But for you people using paper towels. When I did paper towels I would put my paper towels in a baggie and then pin/tape mine in a warm spot on the wall so they are hanging vertically. Or on the back of your TV or anyplace warm. To block light tape/pin a wash cloth or similar over top of the sealed baggie. By hanging them this way the roots will grow straight down, no more curly roots!
Trust me this works like a charm!!!
