Alrighty... I think I know what was causing the delay. The ph was too high, it was over 7. I think that may be why my seeds weren't germinating. I lowered it to about 5.8/6 - don't have a digital ph reader... next on the purchase list.

Also, I was checking up on my seeds and it looks like one of them started to root. There is about a half inch root sticking out and is settling pretty deep inside the rapid rooter plug. I left it alone, we'll see what happens tomorrow with the good ph.....
