At this moment you know that if syrian rue germinated, Argemone will also break dormancy in your conditions. Don't overwater at this point, to get them past a few inches without dying you need to watch for dampening off. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on the soil if you fear that they will be overwatered. Good luck love  showing off them green digits LOL |

Really it isn't that hard to grow this plant. It is not so "showy" however.
Just need to control dampening off using cinnamon. I get 90% germination and success rate with these seeds.

The top layer is straight sand, which us now dry, underneath that layer is the soil mix, which is 50/50, so sbohld i keep the sand moist when it dries? The mix underneath is a little moist, sand is bone dry just about, good?

good show. Water is the big problem with this species, as long as you don't cause dampening off your plant will take off. Does not feed it nutrients or ACV/BSM, it likes poor soil and little attention.

keep doing what you are doing. At this point dampening off is no longer a problem. Overwatering is now the bitch. Water this puppy from the bottom until it is 2 inches high.

Ok, but them being so small, this wont cause them to get overwatered?, by watering the whole pot?

No cause the problem is "dampening off" which occurs at the surface due to evil organisms Cinnamon on top and water from the bottom. Then the plant is good for another week or so |

In a couple of days you will see the results, it will produce a good amount of leaf now ;-).
Syrian rue has a long as tap root, so you don't have to water it so much if you do so from the bottom, just enough so the sand is barely moist. Once you have 10, 12 true leaves you can let it go and forget about it, even if it is wilted to the extreme, it will come back with a simple watering. Don't give it any nutrients, it does not like em.
