If all is well, in 2-4 days, 6 days maximum.
If nothing after 7 days, plant new seeds.
Make sure to leave the seed pot/container uncovered they need good air exchange for germination, any type of cover will reduce air exchange.
Also, never use a "humidity dome", this also reduces air exchange, but can also increase the risk of moulds or fungus attacking your seed(s).
Hope this helps,........... Organoman.

3/6 seeds not coming above groundAfter two weeks of having seen sprouts coming out of all 6 seeds between paper towels, I've only seen 3 come above ground. Should I wait just a bit longer, or carefully clear away the direct and check what's going on? Maybe they're growing upside down (had it once before)?Germination. Paper

Overzealous seed!Anyone else ever have a seed sprout inside a paper towel? It was less than 48 hours (I usually check at 24 but was busy) and she had busted out of her shell.
For a while now, Ive been using a paper towel and placing them on a running light for warmth and have had amazing resultsGermination. Paper
