I soaked my seeds in water for 24 hours and they hadn't cracked yet but yesterday I went ahead and put in jiffy seedling soil in a solo cup, planted 1/4 inch or so deep and gave it a good misting. I've got a 50 watt fluorescent shop light over it as I don't want my hps on it yet. They have been in soil now for almost 30 hours now. Not seeing anything yet but just wondering if there is anything else I need to be doing?

Do nothing. It could take a couple days before they emerge. I've had seeds take as long as a week before they decided to enter the world of light. Keep them warm and don't over water. Damp not soaking wet.

Cool. Just wanted to make sure everything I'm doing is right. It's my first grow so hoping the pop up soon. It's around 80 degrees in there
