Help: How long would I normally have to wait? Need Guidance.

I got five feminized Diesel Ryder Automatic Seeds.
I planted them with seed compost in tiny paper pots with plastic wrapper on the 22th Mars so thats almost one week ago.
I did not soak the seeds in a cup of water first as I later found out this is a good method.

This is my very first grow so I have no idea what to look for here, how many days would it usually take for this strain to pop out of the dirt?
I feel like I'm going a bit overkill with my HPS 250W 20/4 from day 1.
Grow-room temperature is pending between 77-86℉

I have been looking for information everywhere and cant find any.
Maybe I'm just a bit impatient.

Hey man, I am on my very first grow as well, check mine out if you want. Anyways, I am a newbie of sorts but the people on here are very helpful. What I can tell you is that once the seeds pop, you will have about 2-3 days until you see the familiar ''weed leaf'' coming out of the shoot. Now when you say, ''Maybe I'm just a bit impatient'', that is probably true. One very important thing that I have learned while just starting to grow weed is that YOU NEED TO BE PATIENT. Just carry on with your normal routines and simply care for the plants.
They aren't going to grow over night! One very important thing I can tell you since I destroyed a couple plants already doing this, is to NEVER OVER WATER!!! To tell if the plants need water, stick your finger (pinky perhaps) in the soil about an inch or two into the soil and if it is dry, water. Good luck man, I'm gonna sub to this and hopefully watch you grow some good herb.
-Peace out

keep it moist , if you planted them more than 1/4 inch deep it could take more than a couple days , maybe a week. water once or twice a day . just don't let them dry out once they sprout. you could set them 3 or 4 feet away from that light they still would get plenty of light

Thank you for the reply guys!

I think I might have been a bit too careful when it came to watering because I was afraid of over-watering.
I started spraying them several times a day as soon as I saw the dirt dry-out on the surface. (5-15 mist-squirts at each time)
I also moved the light closer, about 2 foot from the plants.
The water dries out pretty quickly so I don't think I have to be afraid of giving them to much water.

One of them have gotten up about half an inch and the seed scales have opened up a bit, it kind of looks like a tiny coffee-bean.
Another one is "up", I can see the "tail" but its kind of chilling on the dirt still.
On the other three I can see are the seeds sticking up slightly from the dirt, they have turned light-beige I'm guessing/hoping this is just because I buried them at different dept then the other two.

I tried to find info on what kind of pots to transfer to when the time has come. I bought five 2 gallon pots with plates as I heard larger is better, I'm pretty happy about the fact that they are white so they reflect more light in the grow-room.

I'm going to try Mediterranean soil (PH 5-6) mixed with perlite and "regular" soil when I transfer.
Not sure if I can find bat guano here.

Having my fingers crossed for them to all be healthy females.

One again, thank you guys for the reply.

Here is an update:

Two of the seeds didn't make it (I guess), they have not yet developed a tail.
In desperation I'm still going to try to germinate them with moist paper-towels.

one of three seeds looks healthy now, it has developed tiny leafs and is standing straight.
The other two are not as happy it seems, but I can still see changes.

Just hope that the one that is most likely going to make it really is a female and yields a ton.
Payed around 70$ for these 5 seeds

I woke up at 01:20 last night and realized that the timer had not yet turned the lights off. (was sat at 00:00), Piece of crap!
concidering the electricitybill and the unfortunate outcome of only 2 maybe 3 healhty Diesel plants I decided to get a lowryder dwarf mix pack.

Only two made it.
They booth look look like this, one still has the scales from the seeds clinging on.

OMG. You would not believe this! (whom ever read my rambeling mumbo jumbo)
One of the two diesel ryder seeds I decided to germinate in papertowl after 11 days of no luck in the soil is now growing a tail.
