Houston, We have germination!

So I checked my beans and one cracked out! Its about this long - the root part coming out. Should I plant it now or wait a lil bit till it gets longer?

You can plant now or wait, I usually let mine get at least 1/4 of an inch

I'd put her in a dixie cup about a quarter of an inch into the soil (root down) and a drop or two of water...should emerge in to time!

Let it get to the point where the embryonic leaves start to push open the seed casing, then plant.

When I have planted earlier than that it sometimes takes longer to emerge from the dirt.

Alright. I will check it every 4 hours just to watch it closely. Should I immediately put into light or wait till it sprouts out from the dirt??

It doesn't really matter, I'd just put them on it now so you don't have to check it all the time

What if you are not using soil. How do you prepare the germinated seeds.

Put your baby in some rockwool cubes or other median.....its relatively the same
