First time grow

Hola friends, this will be my first grow ever!
here's the deal: It's gonna be an outdoor grow. i started the seeds bout a week ago germinating, and planted them 3 days ago. some of you might say its too late to be starting an outdoor grow. however, i live in an area where it really dosnt matter when you start, you could plant in the dead of winter and the plants ALWAYS autoflower. i know this from my many friends who have grown
anyways, they are in individual red cups now, and i have a question: how long until i see the sprout? im worried because i dropped the plate the seeds were on walking down the stairs, i hope i didnt traumitize them.
thanks, ill update soon. also, no camera sorry

The sprouts may have been damaged by the drop.
How deep did you plant them?
Assuming it was about 1/4 inch deep, they should sprout in a day or two.

oops. i actually planted them alot deeper than that, like 3/4 in-1in on some.

I'd give them some time then. Thats quite a large distance for the shoot to travel up to. Just keep the growing medium moist, not too wet. See if there's any sign of life in 3 more days.
You may also wanna try cover the pots with plastic wrap to increase humidity levels.

Good luck!
