If you germ some seeds for 24 hours or more and the trap root doesn't pop out what should you do? Is the seed viable or no? I had one the didn't show a root and I planted it yesterday and it is now on a heat mat and has a humidity dome. How many days till it sprouts?
 
You are killing it with kindness and your own expectations my friend.

Depending on the variety of seed... and under ideal conditions... it can take anywhere from 3 to 10 days for a seed to germinate - defined as emerging from the ground.

If you are placing them on a paper towel or wet sheet, then it can take up to 3 or 4 days before you see a tap root. Although I have had some pop within 24 hours - I have had just as many take 4 days.

The best way that I have found is to wet a Rapid Rooter cube, drop a seed into it, place on a heat mat in a tray, and then wait. I have been hitting very close to 100% consistently doing this. Once you can see roots on the bottom of the cube - plant immediately and you should be good to go.
