Hey guys, im new to this site but this seems to be the best place to find help from people who have the knowledge and experience so here goes.
basically i bought a bag of weed last week and half the weight of it was nothin but seeds, as im sick of paying stupid prices here in the uk for less than a satisfying amount not to mention having to deal with some less than friendly individuals i thought i may as well say screw the dealers il do it myself.
Iv done loads and loads of research on how to grow the plant germination vegging sexing flowering the works an i really enjoy learning about this amazing plant but i cant seem to get these seeds to pop!
i chose the best biggest and healthiest looking seeds put them inside damp paper towels in a warm spot but not too warm in between two plates for darkness and to retain moisture yak yak yak and they just wont show a root.
i even checked to see if they had absorbed enough water by putting them into a cup of water and all 5 sank, the seeds are not old as they were inside the bud and the bud was fine to smoke and they are the right size and colour so i know that they're mature. its bin since sunday morning and i know thats not a very long time but from everything iv read about having healthy seeds i would of expected at least one or two to have opened up by now. if any one can help or give some advice it would be greatly welcomed.
oh and another quick question, il be doing a stealth grow in a chest that i have, its all set up and ready to go i just need to get some air circulation in there but can anyone give me advice on how to contain the smell without having to spend loads on a carbon filter as i want to do this with the minimum risk of being caught, i dont want to spend loads of money as anything i manage to grow will only be for myself so im not looking for a huge yield just a small plant or two in a small setup i created myself after LOTS of contemplation about doing it and many weeks of research.
really dont wana have to buy off the streets any more guys please help this work!

hopefully i havent wasted 5 nice seeds 
what would be the ideal ph for the water i put the seeds in and for that matter the soil? and would the ph testing strips or the bottled ph testers used for aquariums be ok for this?, i mean i know i could test the ph of the water with those kind of kits but really not sure on how to test the soil lol i tried searching on the soil bag but it didnt say anything about ph unfortuantly.
the ph testers for the aquariums are droplet testers and range from about 5 to 9.5 10ish, the good thing about those is there are plenty of places where that tester kit would be available to me, if the current seeds wont germinate i will certainly give your method a go and send some feedback on how i get on
