Seeds left to germinate too long??

[irish519]

I placed some seeds in damp kitchen roll on a saucer with a bowel on top and put them in the cupboard were the boiler is. I lifted the bowel every 12 hours to give them air.

Due to me not having soil, i had to leave them in there for almost 5 days until i got some! The white taproots definitely popped on the 1st/2nd day. i could see them through the tissue.

Will this affect the seeds being left like that before they were planted?

no as long as u keep the towl moist and the tap does not dry out but u should plant when the tap is seen i like to wait till the tap gets 1/2 inch then i plant

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah i made sure to keep the towel extra moist and all the taproots were around an half inch before they were planted.

I was thinking the taproot being exposed to moisture and heat with nowere to go for so long would fuck with it
