Two of them finally cracked!

[potgoblin]

if you read my last post in here 420 guys id bin asking for advice on germinating seeds as i was having no luck

well after 8 long days 2 of the seeds have started showing signs of germination!!

its a poor result from 11 so far but 2 of them have split open and i can see white which im hoping is the tap root

Questions: what should i do now??

is it a good idea to let them sit in the water any longer as thats what seemed to do the trick to crack them

or should i plant them straight away and hope for seedlings???

all advice and help u can please everyone

Re: Two of them finally cracked!!!

Ive been waiting 5 days for signs on cracking on my 7 that I have in a glass of water...usually never takes this long. But once they do crack I let them sit in the water until the taproot is about a half in. and then plant them.

so that white part is the tap root? should i still leave them in darkness for the time being as well?

Ya, that is the taproot that you are seeing, and I would also keep them in the dark until you plant. Light hitting any part of the root is not good for it from my understandings.
