Germanating seeds.

Does anybody have any tips For germinating datura Seeds. Or the other Solanaceae because I have been having some real Problems this year. I usually put them straight in The soil. But this year I have tried growing Them by putting some paper Towels at the bottom of a Tuppaware dish. Putting The seeds on the paper towels Spraying them with water And then putting the lid on and Placing them in a dark cupboard. Has anybody had any success doing this method?

I just started some, by putting them outside directly in soil.
It usually take a very long time for them to germinate though.
I've also found that it takes some heat to coax them into sprouting.
I always forget about even planting them, and then by the time it's getting hot and humid outside, I notice that they all just mysteriously sprout!
If I were you, I'd soak them for a couple of days in water, then plant them in soil with a heat mat under them, and some strong light shining on them.

Start plants in humid containers for best results then give light and love.
Why is soil sowing not viable for you this time? Too wet or neglect ?

I have a few that have Sprouted in soil. But they don’t look healthy. Maybe it’s just me. Somebody suggested the Tuppaware method to me So I thought I would give It a shot.

They look ok.
I'd go ahead and gently dig them out, and put them in their own pot

I am keeping them in the Big pots so I don’t need To transplant them when they Grow bigger. Whereas if I transplanted them Into smaller pots they would Need transplanting back into Bigger pots so it saves all the Hassle.

Yeah, but you don't want them all growing in the same pot, especially that close to each other.
They will need room to spread.
The sooner you separate them, the better, and easier off you'll be.
Of course, this is just my opinion, and whatever works best for you, go for it

Ft Go ahead and separate them the best you can so the roots wont become entangled.
Start in small pots and move to big pots or start in big pots and move to big pot.

Yeah, just lightly dig em out with a tablespoon, and you'll get all the roots.
There will be no transplant shock this way

Damn man, sorry to hear that 
I guess you should have went with your instincts and let them be.
I have never had an problems transplanting datura seedlings.
Heck, last season I ripped off nearly all the roots on my seedlings, trying to pry them out of some clay dirt, as hard as a rock, and all mine still survived.
