I just started some tobacco seeds (Virginia Brightleaf and Golden burley) in some peat in a jiffy seedling tray. I didn't cover them at all like the instructions say, I just sprinkled a few seeds in each cell, then I misted all of them with water and covered it with the lid. Now where do I put them? Under a light? Where they'll get no light at all? Do I want to mist them every day? How many days before they germ/emerge from the peat?

Thanks for any advice.

Yes it doesn't like cold nor do I think it likes excessive heat. When travelling to visit my sister we pass by tobacco farms and they have huge shade cloths above the plants
