Help with my seedlings

So I germinated 3 seeds in water about 5 days ago left them in for 24 hours and switched to the paper towel for another 24, only one of them had a tail sticking out the other 2 didn’t but I planted them all in anyway using plant magic plus soil, I also watered them slightly. I then got worried that only 1 was going to sprout so I planted 3 more seeds straight in the soil (no paper towel or cup of water )watered them aswell. All 6 are sat in my grow tent at 25degrees celcius 77f at 65% humidity. They have been in there for about 72 hours now and no sprouts from any of them, the soil is dry now and I do not know weather to water them or not?? I also have 1 fan going and 1 30watt CFL 6400k going. Should I water them? Should I turn my 55w 2700k on? Should I turn the 30watt off? I am worried none will sprout and need to know what I can do to help them??
 
Hi rizcuny, Keep them moist, and a little more warmth wouldn't hurt them. Some folks germinate seeds on top of the fridge cuz it's warm.

Give them time. I germinate my seeds in a grem. tray on a seedling mat so that they get a bit more direct warmth, and most germinate right away, but some seeds always take longer than others.
 
I've only ever planted one ungerminated seed & it took well over a week (maybe 10 or 12 days...i don't remember) to sprout. Since then, i always wait for the tap root to appear. Just be patient & keep the soil around the seeds moist. That's what I would do, anyway. Somebody here will have better advice, I'm sure.
 
Just watered them with warmish water, one of the seed was like half a cm down and I saw it half cracked open just put more soil on it. Really not looking to great but will keep updated on the 3 I germinated
 
Added cling film, is almost touching the soil but is increased the humidity to about 70 and rising

She looks like she is on her way, When we talk about 1-5 day old seedlings, You have to think tiny!! Tap root may be 2 in., fine hair roots so thin you can just see them. So it don't take much water to keep them moist but not drowning. I mist the soil every morning and evening till the first true leaves are about 1 in. long. By then the tap roots about 6 in. long, deep in the soil, so surface can then dry more between waterings.......Works for me. I only grow in soil, on patio, never transplanting .
 
That’s only 1 of 6 that have worked though, she’s opened up a lot actually over the day I’ve got the light closer 1 30watt 1 55w temp at 80 ...55 humidity should she live ? By misting the soil do you mean with a spray bottle? Thanks
 
I have just had my second sprout!! I have got 2 lights on now and the temp has now increased to 91degrees!! Is that too hot? I have got a co2 bag in and a fan. Also I find that when the temp is higher the humidity drops for example right now it’s at 45% and when I have one CFL on at 80degrees the humidity is more like 65.. I am very confused what are the best conditions for this now I have 2 sprouts, I have only got 2 lights on any way which is only 5000 lumens ! I plan to add another 12,000 lumens of 2700k when my 2 plants are up and running and I need to keep the temp down and humidity higher. Any help is appreciated
