Germination testing - first time and ?s

[tam91]

I've been reading, but just to be sure - in order to do some germination testing, I put 10 seeds in a folded damp paper towel, inside a sealed ziploc bag. I put it where it should be warm-ish (heat register nearby, not directly on it of course).

Is that right?

How soon might I see sprouts? And when do I consider it's as good as it will be - 10 days?

Thanks again from the newbie!
