It takes about two to three days for the seed shell to split. Another day for the tap root to grow about a half inch. Another two to three to emerge. What you'd call a sprout.

Expect something soon. You can use a toothpick to spread the rockwool covering the seed.(If you covered it) Look down into the hole. You should see a premature sprout about to break the surface.

I like to mix up a little bit of great white, cal mag and water sprouts with that. I don't add nutrients till I see roots coming through net pots, then I use about 1/4 strength Blue planet nutrients. If seeds are pre-popped it usually takes about 5 days to see roots. Sometimes sooner by a day.

Keeping your PH stable and rez temp at or below 70 at this early stage is crucial.
