Chiming in…
Start with good soil for the transplant after germing - water it until it drips out the bottom, set to the side.
Germ the seed in a small bowl of water with Hydroperox, I use a cap full. Keep in dark room temp cupboard. After 12-24 hours if she pops, I place her in a papertowel and use the water from the bowl to moisten and place that in a ziploc and breathe hot lung air into the bag so it is like a balloon and zip it and back in the cupboard for 12 more hours. This process usually gets me a minimum 1/2" tail. Plant in the moist soil that was set to the side when germing. I place her in a dome at 80º F and 80% humidity for 2 weeks ish and do not water her.
This pic was taken the day I transplanted into her first container after the process above was followed. I haven’t lost a seed yet that had a tail and I haven’t lost a clone using this same process. The only adder is the rooting powder in the soil the clone is planted in.
Here is my clone off of the mature plant from the 2 week pic.
