Seeds slow to sprout

I soaked three White Widow female autos for 12 hours in water then transferred to paper towel method six days ago. 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 I’ve soaked, I’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 weren’t doing anything after small taproots and 8 days. ILGM sending replacement seeds and we’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 I’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

Soak to seed starting method skip plate
