Maybe not,its a bit long but still poss.You didn't plant it too deep like a lot of people do did you.It only needs to be the depth of the seeds,a few mm.

How long to pop for soil germination?
For those that plant straight into the soil. How long does it typically take to pop and when do you decide that a seed has failed and either plant another or pull that pot from the grow area?

Sprouting delay. How long do I wait? Are lights on and fans running important while waiting for germinated seeds to sprout? I lightly water the medium.
Germinated autos by paper towel method, & put them in soil 2 days ago. The still haven't sprouted out of the soil. How long should I wait? I'm trying to keep humidity between 60-70% and temperature 20-24C. The LEDS are on 18/6 and the fans are running for the pots. What do I do?

Did I need to size up to larger rockwool cubes?
Geminated seeds in 1x1x1 rockwool cubes. End state is to be in 5 gallon buckets with 8" net pot and clay pebbles. I figured the roots are too small to reach all the way into water solution still so put small cubes into 4x4x4 rockwool. Did I need to use larger cubes?

Folded Coly Leaves, No Seed.
My “coly” leaves are folded shut, almost like a duck bill, no seed, and I’m able to gently separate the leaves apart, but it “snaps” right back down. Should I leave it alone and hope for it to grow out of it? Or should I intervene, and how so?

Germination is taking longer than usual even if seeds sprouts
I used the paper towel method and put the seeds in the soil when the white root were longer than 1cm under a plastic bottle for humidity, even if the white root is out the green part is not growing in 3 different seeds. I waited for 2 days now, do I have to worry?

I've always gone from root cube directly to 3-gallon pots. I can't compare the difference with transplanting from solo cups because I don't have any experience. Have any of you found a significant advantage to adding an extra transplant? I figure 3-gallon pots aren't THAT big.
