Patience, its not unusual for things to take longer than average. 3 days is average for germing seeds, longest for me was 7 days. After planting germed seeds i have had to wait 10 days for it to sprout. Wait a while, they normally get there in the end. Warmth is what is important to the babies at the mo, just not too much.

They don't need any light until they break the surface. You can use light for warmth though.

no light untill sprouting and use only plain water (ph 6.5-7.0).
AND NO NUTES FOR THE FIRST 3 WEEKS..

Also make sure you only keep it moist. Do not over water this causes the seed to swell and the H20 membrane in the seed to rott over the germination period. Slightly moist. Also I prefer to just plant the seeds directly into soil. You might consider doing it that way next time.
