seedling problems

[chroniclvr]

I've planted about 6 seeds all dark color, into (3) 2 litter bottles cut in half,(2) seeds in each bottle the've been under 4 CFL lights totaling 150WATTS for about a week now and nothings popped up yet, now I have tried growing before wich was my first time and I had done the same thing only with one seed and left it out side and it sprouted like 3 days after planting it, my question is should I do the same as before, or can I birth something from CFL's and how close should the bottles be from the lights, and should they be in direct light from the CFL's? any advice would be awesome thanks again

Yes if u´re using cfl´s get the lights as close as 1" to the "plant", if they aren´t sticking out yet and its been a week u´re prolly doing something wrong, even tho some strins take a bit more time to show themselfs....
how deep did u plant?
whats your soil pH and water pH?

you don't need the light..until she sprouts.. although the heat from the light might be useful...

Are you keeping your soil moist? at all times?
