Help first time!

Okay, I have an Aerogarden, and planted tow femanized seeds of two different kinds. One is auto flowering afcan kush ryder, and the other is extreme indica. Seeds were mature and viable. I have a timer set to 18 hours daylight, 6 night on a timer. I used the Aerogarden nutrient packet and filled it with water and used the peat pods it came with. I put the seeds into the pods just a little down in the little hole, not to far.

Planted on Feb 1st, and its not the 13th, i see the seed top on the AKR, but the EI one hasnt poopped to the top yet. I was wondering since it has been around 2 weeks, and the leaves on both have yet to sprout yet, is that normal? I have the aerogarden incased in a box, warm temp all day, humidy normal, followed all the tech , i didnt germinate the seeds before planting tho. My question is, is there anythin i can do to speed it up? The seed coat is still on them, i cant see the roots yet in the aerogarden and the sprouts have yet to happen. I have the bio-domes on it, to keep humidity etc. The airstone and water is oxygenated. Aerogarden seems to do it right but my sprouts arent up yet. I read everywhere germination takes up to 10 days, but its day 13 and no cotyldons or leaves yet , i just see the seed coat, but nothing seems to be pushing up. Should I wait more or wat?

Thanks for the welcome. Here some more info on my growing....

Aerogarden, I used what came with the master growing seed kit. Got good femanized seeds, planted just a tiny bit into the peat pods, and planted them directly into aerogarden feb 1st. Light timer is on 18 hours day, 6 night, and used the flour. light aerogarden 3 came with. Reflective material around the aerogarden, incased to keep light and temp up. Humidy is good, PH, wate is clean, nurtrients are good. Just dont know what wrong, i mean... its only been 13 days but some people say after a week the sprouts come out, but all i see is the seeds in the pods but the cotyldons have yet to come up. What is the longest time it takes for the aerogarden to sprout the seeds? I have no clue if they cracked the root yet since its in the pea pod but no sprouting yet.

Personally, I feel anything that hasn't sprouted yet will not sprout.

But I believe you are confusing the method of rooting clones to the method of germinating seeds. If you try this again, first of all... light is not that important at this stage, for example you don't need reflective surfaces etc. You might want to soak the seeds in a glass of water the first night. The following morning put them on top of your peat moss pellets, and just keep them and the pellets moist. Just spray them with some clean clear water, keeping the temperature at about 75F. If you have a heating pad, set it at 75 and forget about it. You can use a dome to keep the humidity up, but its not necessary. I have ruined plenty by using a dome. I couldn't figure out why my clones would die, until I measured the humidity and it was 100%. They died of lack of oxygen since the dome was not vented, and the humidity was such that the stems just fell over.
