3-4 days is normal but I have had a few take a week or more

 

[Dank Bongula]

Three days to two weeks, I have personally seen.

3-5 days is my running average. Sometimes longer.

do they need light to sprout out ? or sun heat ?

Warmth is fine but they don't need light till they open

Light would be pointless until they sprout above ground.

Darkness, medium 85ºF and moist, not wet. Hurry up and wait.

I keep my lights on just for heat in the grow area but as said about they don't need light until they break ground.
