It should be noted that I have very limited resources due to lack of funds.
I recently began my first grow after after getting some seeds off of a friend. I germinated 2 seeds for 3 days using the paper towel method, then put them in peat moss cups with some soil I got from a friend, I can't recall the brand but the NPK was something like 7-5-6. I put them under 3 CFL lights, 2 15 watt 2700k and a 23 watt 3500k (I'm aware 3500k isn't ideal color temperature but as I said before, limited resources, and I can get those bulbs for free) for 20 hours on 4 hours off. I also put tinfoil around the inside of my grow box which is about 1 1/2'x1 1/2'x 2'. I'm concerned though because it's been about 4 days and they still haven't sprouted. I know the seeds are good as I got them off of an extremely reputable person and germinated fine. I have a decent amount of seeds left still so it's not a huge concern to me if these plants die but I'd like to know if there's something I'm doing wrong so I don't waste any more.
