It can take 3 or 4 days depending on strain. Maybe some take longer, I'm not sure. Longest I waited for a seed to sprout is about 4 days.
The way I germ is I drop the seed in a shot glass of water. Put it in a warm dark spot for 24 hours. At the same time, I soak my rock wool cubes in about 5 cups of water (6.0 PH) and 1 tsp Clonex Solution. After 24 hours, if my seed is still floating, I gently push it down, wait an hour and check. If it stayed down, it's viable and goes in the rockwool, if it floats, it's probably not viable, but I wait another 12 hours just to be sure.
I grow in hydro, by the way.
