Germination takes up to two weeks. Be patient; maintain proper moisture levels.
Indoor - If you use the paper towel method they pop in 2 - 4 days. Then they should surface by 5-8th day. You should have gemrmed them indoors then put them in the sun so they have a little head start - outdoors they do take longer to come through - make sure your not prodding them trying to see whats going on - be patientQuote:

I had fresh seeds sprout on the 3rd day and had them popping out of the soil in about a week. The problem I've had two years in a row was the plant shedding the seed, ughhh, had one that wasn't going to happen so I had to crack it off with some scissors and it scarred the plant but eventually it recovered. The problem I found with the rockwool for seeds was it retained so much water I found the root was not reaching through the cube for water.
ima have to try germinating them first then leaving them in the sun till they sprout
