 Put your soaked seeds on a wet paper towel, wrap them up, place them in a plastic bag, and put them somewhere warm. Label the bag, especially if you're growing more than one type of plant seed.

Check them every few days. When you see a root on a seed (I wait until the root gets to about 1/8", but you don't have to), take the seed and proceed to the next step. I've waited up to three weeks for the last seed to sprout. If they don't look like they're going to sprout at three weeks, I chuck them.

 Keep it closed, and from time to time check the contents of your bag to see if they're moist. If they aren't moist adding a little water wouldn't hurt.

I managed to get rotten seeds instead of roots at this step... I almost passed out because of the smell. :S
