Starting autoflower seeds

[XXTattooDanXx]

How do I start autoflower seeds for hydroponics?
I know this sounds like something that would be easy to Google, but i keep coming up empty.

Actually, I have a question that may answer yours. I'm fair new at this and about to try autoflowers, and from what I've read, Nebula wrote that Rapid Rooters give you the best success rate at germination, and are good for all growing mediums, including hydro. The only downside is, they come in a bag of 50 and once opened and you use what you need, throw away the rest because they'll dry out and be no good, Now, my question to you other growers is, has anyone discovered a way to keep these guys fresh? I thought about freezing them or maybe vacuum sealing, but I just don't know.

I keep mine in the fridge in zipper baggies, I have no issues germinating 5 YO seeds, I read freezing is not recommended.

I would try to keep them in a Tupperware like container, or even better a canning jar. That should keep them moist for quite a while.
If they do dry out can't you just soak them in water to rehydrate? What is so special about the moisture they come with?

You dont want them to wet or to dry, if they dry to much they are dead.

I tried various methods including RR and other rooting plugs. I try to keep things simple and the less I need to buy the better here’s another how to , with a short video produced by a licensed seed producer in Canada. I’ve grown a few of their seed very successfully.
Basically what Nebula said in her paper towel method
