Noob Question - Why haven't My Seeds Germinated?

Sorry for the noobish question.....
I have 3 Barney's Farm Blue Cheese seeds. Sewn in moist jiffy peat/coir pellets which are placed in seed and cutting compost, inside a heated propagator with a 125w 6800k cfl. They've been there for over a week and nothings happening:confused:. I had successfully germed 2 Gnomo plant's (my first grow) using this technique.
What the hell am I doing wrong?
Or is it just a slow starting strain?

Next time place the seeds in a wet paper towel, and put the towel in a baggy. Place this in a warm spot...85ish degrees
It will stay moist during your work hours. That way you will see the start of the root growing, and know when you place it in the pellets , which one to expect a seedling out of.

One week is not unheard of. Give it some time before you go sticking your nose in it.

just put them in a paper towel...... wow.

I have an avocado seed that I have in a paper towel and the paper towel stays moist for three or four days. and thats out in the open....

just get a paper towel moist, not soaked, put in a plastic bag and give it like 24 to 48 hours, you shouldnt even need to re wet the paper towel, and you should see it split
