Ideally you want the taproot to be about 2-3cm long before planting it into the soil (with the root pointing down and the seed up). This paired with proper conditions will ensure fast sprouting! Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

It’s fine, do it now, do not continue growing it more because you will risk breaking it

Seeds dried out during germination?
If your paper towel is dry for a few hours while the seeds are germinating and they’ve just cracked is this bad? Will they bounce back? I watered them straight away when I saw that the paper towel was dry.

Overzealous seed!
Anyone else ever have a seed sprout inside a paper towel? It was less than 48 hours (I usually check at 24 but was busy) and she had busted out of her shell. For a while now, Ive been using a paper towel and placing them on a running light for warmth and have had amazing results

Is growth normally this slow for seedlings? Any advice appreciated.
These 3 seeds (of 12) germinated March 19-21; I transferred them to coco coir/perlite soil under 40W full-spectrum grow lights I also use for garden vegetable seedlings. Lights are on 16 hours; off 8 hours, and the seedlings have barely grown in the last 10 days. Is this normal?
