               I put mine in dirt and kept them wet fopr a few eeeks and gave up. Then they germinated the next week. Same thing happened with my bushel gourds. so, figure on 3 weeks

               In a planting medium, in a germ box, at 80-90 degrees the answer is three to five days when using one to three year old seed.

               I just soaked them a couple of hours and put them in the pot. A couple in three days and the rest in four. Two I direct seeded took two weeks but it was a cold two weeks.

               I filed mine a little bit and soaked em for about 2 hours, then planted em.  One sprouted in a week, the other 2 took over 2 weeks.
