Do I soak the pellets first or something? Then when they sprout, I just plant the whole thing pellet and all correct?

If one looks at the regulations more closely they probably need grown in a green house with a lockable door or something similar

City ordinance, no outside growing. Goes back to the original medical where cities were able to put theiur own restrictions on. Thank God for La Habra, Whittier and Anaheim, cause they wonāt even let dispensaries in Brea, or any commercial grows.

Ya u need to expanded them I pour hot water over them and let them expand then pop the seed in them when you see roots they can go into the next stage

Yeah, I know that they are suppose to be out of view and locked. Mine arenāt locked but I have a fence and gate etcā¦ Since itās my property and I shut the gate, I figure that means locked as someone would be trespassing if they went back there without permission. Thatās my story and Iām sticking to it. lol

If you wanted to use those pellets immediately Iād take it planted and plant it into you soil that s flush with the soil thereās not much volume on them and would have a tendency to dry out really quick if it had a root and dried out game over of course wet the surrounding soil well also cause you wouldnāt want the plug to be loosing moisture to the surrounding area

I could just sprout them in the house with a dome lid in the kitchen, I get good indirect sun there and warmth. Was just trying to avoid the whole hardening off process and turning my kitchen into a greenhouse lolā¦ I have a really small house and really big yard.
Or old school, baggie and paper towels on top of the fridge then put them in outside starters.
Iām hurting my own head worrying over some damn seeds. lol

Paper towel and baggie till they throw tails then go plant them directly, soiless mixes donāt really go bad, sure they break down or could have a bacteria issue, and need to be replenished nutrient wise unless hand feeding.
As for jiffy pellets, they work but tend to stay too wet or go dead dry if your not watching them somewhat. Also their fabric outside mesh doesnāt really break down and is best to cut that away when planting, as i have see it hinder roots on many a plants

I remove the outside mesh upon transplanting, as well. There are two types of mesh they use, one is more of a fabric and the other is some sort of woven plastic. The fabric version is a PITA, are not very good for the roots, and are hard to remove. The woven plastic ones are no problem and are more forgiving on the roots.
Of course, there is no indication on the box on which ones you might have and you kinda have to know before hand. The fabric type is difficult to cut with scissors.
Have yet to have an issue with too much moisture for germ/establishment. You really only soak them on the initial expansion. Warm, plain tap water. From then on, small amounts of water when they look like they (the pellet) needs it while adjusting the cover to allow increased circulation/lower humidity as they become established.

definitely just some throw the expanded pellets in those 1020 or ājiffyā starter trays and leaving water in the tray.

Am I correct to assume that if I use them, I will have to harden the sprout off before I plant it in the garden?

If I just do paper towel, I can just plant them immediately in the garden right?

Yes or be cruel like me and burn them. 
start slow & add more time quick ā¦ i.e. 5 min., 15, 60, & weāre off! 
itās about trying to make the temperatureās as close as possible for the transplant; iāve seen rapid temp changes make a mature plant look like it got roundupāed.
