Troubleshooting a Wash

Long time lurker, first time poster.
Issue: No active bubbling in airlock, has been sitting with yeast since 8:00pm PST. When the lid is pressed down upon gently, bubbles hit the airlock; no idle bubbling occurring however. Can faintly hear fizzing occurring when ear is up to bucket.
Recipe:
5.5lbs sugar
5.5lbs molasses
1 Capful of Vanilla Extract
6tsp Red Star DADY
20L water
Should I be concerned yet or wait? I've duct taped the lid shut, eliminating the possibility of a bad seal.
