you started your first LR grow same time as me exactly , and yes LR germinate slow , i soaked my beans til a tap root shown, then planted them sunday, my still havent broke the earth.... my temp is 78F soils moist not soggy, good humidity , reg m.g soil no ferts only b vitamins in distilled water. b4 they break the ground i no they dont need light however i put a cool 20w cpf 3 in above the soil.... worlds best virtue patients.... keep in touch through both our threads i can really use someone in same spot as me, even tho i know quite a bit about growing , every grow i feel like a noob again. i just wish they would beak ground i know then that i can kick ass then... good luck with yours.. and you cpf lights should be 3 in from you plants and a fan on low constantly blowing on them will work wonders plus let you get the lights closer.... PEACE
