Those bulbs should sprout. Raise the temperature to
at least 75 and get them closer to the light which you
should have on a 12 hour cycle. You are using real
light arent you, and not those fraud bulbs they sell
with the fluorescent hoods? Those bulbs are
tropical!!!

I used to get bulbs like that in from the orient 100
at a time and they would sprout like crazy in the
summertime.
