hey Michelle,
I've always found that heat is the most important
ingredient for germinating seedlings, but you may not need any extra
tubes depending on the climate in your area. If you are currently in
winter, the seedlings may take weeks to germinate. Either buy a warm
tube or maybe a heating mat and your seeds will germinate in like 5
days.
