Realistically, how long should it take for a seed to pop

Average is about 72 hours. That's just dropping a seed in the hole. No prep or soak.

It may vary some if you soak and use paper towels but not a significant amount IMO.

It's been about that long... I'm getting impatient cause I waited a long time to get these seeds

What are your ambient temps?
Warm seeds pop faster.

IsI say about 72-73 degrees

If I put them straight into dirt it can take up to 4 or 5 days to see them pop up. I have had em go a bit longer dropping straight into soil. The paper towel method usually will show good taps at 72 hours. I just put my beans in a wet paper towel inside of a zip lock bag. I then set that in a warm cupboard and good viable seeds are ready to plant in 3 days tops.

Yeah, that's a little on the cool side.
80-85 works faster.

I'm sprouting tomato seeds on my router.

Could I put them inside my tent

5 days days if you just throw it in dirt, warmth will help it pop up sooner

This waiting process for these seeds is driving me nuts!!! It would be different if I didn't order them!!! To make it even worse is that my dude gave me some cookie seeds along with a bunch of other seeds!!! All good ones at that... What to do...

 

[Frank Nitty]

Day five of germination...WTF!?!?!? Still no roots!!! When I get free seeds,they take right away,if i pay for them, they don't...these are from the original sensible seed company...i have two more in soil,same thing...

Whenever I have slow germination it has always become colder or warmer than my target of about 74-78 degrees. Closer to 74 works better sometimes. Always surprises me.
