Depends on how you are going to plant them, I have pre-germinated native prairie mixtures, soaked them for three to four days in the bag. These seeds were seeded with a Finn hydromulcher. The seeds get soft and mechanical planters grind them to mush after pre germ so you can sew by hand or hydromulch but thats it.
After getting a Great Plains 1006NT drill I never pre-germed another bag. Proper seed to soil contact will bring them up just as fast as pre-germed seed spread on top. The pre-germed seeds had a higher seedling mortality rate and resulted in poorer stands. Get them seeds in the dirt.
