Its been very hot and humid and Im not sure how well the temp/humidity was monitored. I put the plate into a 1 gallon bag (not closed) and then into a cardboard box. One of them has kind of sprouted but the other two are just barely peeking out. Nothing has changed for a couple of days. Any advice? Thanks so much. Im a newby and appreciate the help. ---

Yeah, iam new to growing, out of 8 seeds Iā€™ve soaked, Iā€™ve had 8 seedlings. I put them in water Sunday morning , then Monday morning I put them straight to soil pots , they all sprouted by Wednesday. First batch I did 4 , month later I did 4 more. ---

The seeds werenā€™t doing anything after small taproots and 8 days. ILGM sending replacement seeds and weā€™ll start over. Just to make sure, 12-24 hrs soak in water (tap okay?), then to papertowels, not saturated but wet. Place between 2 plates and keep in the dark. WHAT IS BEST TEMP AND HUMIDITY FOR THIS TIME?, After they sprout roots long enough (1/4"), plant in soil less mix, water but not too much. TAP WATER OK?, Place them under light Iā€™M USING 1000W LED, 18 hours on/6 hrs off., WHAT IS BEST TEMP & HUMIDITY FOR THESE EARLY DAYS? THANKS. I FOUND A LOT OF TIPS, BUT THEY ALMOST ALL LEFT OUT SPECIFIC DETAILS. ---

Try going straight to soil, dont touch with hands, poke a small hole 1/4 inch deep with pen in soil, drop seed in cover lightly with soil, water then cover with clear solo cup, and wait, after 24 hours soak in water ---
