Placed the cups in a 39"x19" fiberglass tray (no humidity dome) and filled with tap water that was left for 24 hours to help remove the chlorine, keeping ~1/2" of water in the tray. I planted the morning of 3-24 and as of yet no joy, they are currently on the second floor in a south facing window. If nothing is up by tomorrow I will move them to the basement and put them on a heating mat, once I have germination they will move to a second tray and go under a 400 watt metal halide light with a fan to simulate outdoor conditions. In the end these will be planted in a hybrid RGGS, this will be my first experience using this system but I have high hopes.

They just need a couple more days. Mine were started in DE on 3/22 and they just started popping up last night. No heat mat.
