Good point! Why do I keep doing the the paper towel on a heat mat over the fridge thing.I get the same tail breakage (when it sticks to the paper towel) The seed is going to pop or it isn't. Save the shock and the hassle. Thanks for bringing the subject up.
I have to know if the seed has sprouted so I use the paper towel. I check them every day and take them out when the tail gets 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. They will not stick to the towel if you get them early. If they do, you just tear the paper towel around the tail instead of pulling the tail out of the towel.
