Paper towel should be fine provided it is moist enough, warm and dark. The water soak is mainly to soften the seed’s shell. Many will drop directly into soil too. If a seed is going to germinate, it will if the conditions are right. Good luck ---

Welcome to the community! If they have a crack at the seem, leave them for another day or two. That means they have begun to germinate and a root is beginning to develop. If they are still solid, you can place them in water. Good luck and happy growing! ---

I will have to take a closer look at them as i have noticed they got darker after soaking them. Thank you for the information! @Dclark ive only ever planted one seed and i did the paper towel method and it worked but i didnt know if autos were different! ---
