They failed to produce any results, but stuff seems to germinate after it is taken out of the bag. I think the oil in the water crystals may inhibit germination so it is definitely not recommended.
It may be better to simply germinate stuff in soil, and a strong light. I use a 400 watt metal halide for my seedlings.
Here's one of the angled luffa seedlings from last week. This should allow them to be nice and big when they go outside.
