Lol, you need to learn to be patient. It can take a lot longer than 2-3 days to germinate and break the surface.

How deep did you plant the seeds? How wet is the soil? Was the soil wet, damp or dry before you put the seeds in? I soil germinate every grow with tremendous success every time (except for the occasional bad seed, 1/30 beans or so)... I plant seeds 1/4in (pointy end down, nub on top) from the surface and then I put a little more medium on top to cover the little tiny crater you created for the seed.... then I lightly mist the surface of the soil with a spray bottle. Then I leave it be until it pops. I do not water until the seedling shows its first set of true leaves and the first little tiny set of new leaves show... I get germination with-in 36-48 hours on average... 3 to 4 days tops!... hope this helps man...

The taproot needs more room to grow underground. Pot needs to be bigger, like a small cup with drainage holes, or even use rockwall cubes...

Use a plastic takeout cup from a restaurant. Not the foam or paper ones... just cut holes underneath for drainage...

Ok, so then my advice would be to wait 2 more days, if nothing, start over. Or be careful and dig around the seed that you are curaintly trying to germinate with a tooth pick and look for any signs of movement or germination, by looking for the taproot, etc... if nothing, you could try the papertowel method!
