see below for some potential strategies that might be attempted.

Explanation:

[1] Attempt to optimize the temperature and length of light periods.

[2] Pre-soak the seeds.

[3] Regulate the fertilizer.

[4] Micro-waving the seeds for a brief period of time before planting. (I seem to recall some success with this a few decades back... mainly with grain seeds... in reducing the germination period).
