I appreciate your reply. In that case should i try to dig them out and re start or just be patient an other 48 hours ?
If they are still in jiffy pellets, put them under a warm white light. Before germinated seeds break soil, they need the light from the red spectrum to grow towards. I just use a cheap 50watt philips agro plant light (found mine at Home Depot). As soon as they break soil, I put them under my regular grow light because that philips agro is HOT and will burn your seedlings.
I actually purchased those just for the first two weeks before i put them unto a stronger light.
I just checked and as of now nothing come out yet. I will wait and move it around tomorrow if no sign of life is given.
The temp you stated of 26-28 c is air temp, you want your jiffy pellets to be a few degrees warmer.
Don't use a high heat light. but use a heating pad under seedling tray. and a low wattage floro.
That heat from the light is drying out the surface where seed resides.
Air temp still needs to be warm just no direct heat on surface of pellets.
I wouldn’t let the humidity get that high. 60-70% at the most. Get those jiffy pellets to warm up. I let my rapid rooters get warm to the touch. Seeds need to think it is springtime to germinate. I highly recommend rapid rooters next time. Just plop the seed in, pointy side down, tear off some of the rapid rooter and lightly cover the hole. Then you can check it occasionally by removing the covering to see if it germinated. They’re good for impatient people like us :)I left the box open to let some humidity out. I am at day 3 and nothing out yet.
The fact im the most impatient person out there is not helping out i am sure haha.

Dude just do the paper towel method next time, you don’t need to buy something to germinate the seeds. Get a glass of water, put seeds in, stir, let it sit 12-24 hrs, get them out, put paper towel in a bowl, put the seeds in, pour some water to get the paper towel moist, close the lid, check daily. It is that easy. Also with this method you can check if they germinated or not, you could be waiting for a couple of duds to pop right now.Still not out :(
They were planted on 29th at 5:30 PM
We are now 3 days, 3 hours and 36 minutes later and nothing yet.

I beg to differ on the pointy side down, If you notice most tap roots that come out a seed will curl 180 degrees. So having the pointy end up the root comes out and curls down so when it grows and pops the surface it will pull out of seed husk. Most seeds have a heavy end, by nature (gravity) that end will sink first.I wouldn’t let the humidity get that high. 60-70% at the most. Get those jiffy pellets to warm up.

Some seeds can take up to 10 days or more to popStill not out :(

I put paper towel in a zip lock bag....unzipped...works great too.Dude just do the paper towel method next time, you don’t need to buy something to germinate the seeds.
