Better be some living things in there Now its just a waiting game to see some sprouting going on...radeon should I be misting the top of the soil like once a day or once evry other day? I dont want to drown my seeds in there lol, the temps are staying put at 80F but the humidity is low only 20% and I see the top layer of the soil is drying out a lil bit so how often should I mist the top layer of the soil with out rotting the seeds? Thx.

Just a lil update nothing as of yet above the ground, my only worries is that my water maybe too high in ph I, I just got a ph test and the water I was using was like 7.6 close to 8 so I got it down to around 6.8-7, so I will keep an eye on it..you guys think I made some booboo to my seed because of using that water high in ph?

yeah youll be fine man. i wouldnt mist at all. you actually want the top soil to be crusty dry and the cups SUPER light before watering again. i honestly didnt water until i transplanted at like 2 and a half weeks! although you should keep the soil moist til they pop...
you will see growth soon. the pH is a lil high, but nutes will fix that when you start feeding anyway...or at least help

I would know about that ph issue sooner, but only today I got a ph test kit with up and down solutions, so I fixed the ph issue and it's between 6.8-7 so I think I should be good till I start adding nutes in like 2-3weeks.

Thank you RW, I'm keeping my lights on 24/0 until they sprout above the soil and then I'll switch the lights to 18/6. I'm keeping the lights on 24/0 for heat until they sprout, bcuz when the lights go off the temps are droping down to around 68F-72F and I know thats a lil to cold for seeds to sprout nicely so I'm keeping the themps at 85F. The top layer of the soil is getting kinda dry and crumbly, I sticked my finger in about 1.5in down and the soil feels warm and kinda moist, the seeds are about 1/4in deep so I'm just lil bit worried that the seed will dry out or something bcuz of the top layer being lil bit on the dry side.
