Germination complete, few questions

I've successfully germinated 6 bag seeds. I took 5" plastic party cups and poked about 4 holes (the size of a pen) in the bottom of them. I filled them with normal topsoil, watered (it was pretty muddy) and let them sit for about 15 minutes. I then made a depression about 1" deep with my finger and planted my seeds, taproot down. I covered the cups with saran wrap, but neglected to poke holes in it. I placed these in my attic (a very hot, probably about 80 to 85 degrees, and humid place) and thats where they've been since about 24 hours ago.

I checked on them just now and the soil is still a tad muddy. Right now its got enough water in it to create "mudballs". I just read to poke holes in the saran wrap, so I poked about 3 pen size holes in each. About how long before I start seeing an actual plant? Do I need to change anything?

Thanks.

 

Alright, thanks. When should I start looking for a plant?

 

The soil I use is called Earthgrow, its just cheapo stuff I found in my garage. I didn't mean that mud balls were being made, I was just trying to describe the consistency. If I were to grab a clump of the soil and squeeze it into a ball, it'd stay in that form.

Once these plants are ready I'm moving them outdoors. I have all these woods where leaves fall every year and just decompose, so the soil there has gotta be pumped full of nutrients. I still might get fertilizer.

 

No lights over them now. It isn't really an option indoors, but if need be I could put them outdoors near my deck or some place where they'll get natural light.
