How big should a tap root be for planting?

Yeah, I soak mine till the pop then plant them. Of all the plants I killed trying to germ them, this method worked best and I didn't kill any doing this. I found that using a paper towel the taproot grows into it a bit. Just my experience, I am a bit ham handed at times.24 hour soak in chlorinated tap water then plant direct to medium

Refine your method, the soak is only needed till they sink not pop. Plant when they sink and use a 12 or 24 hour soak so you have a cycle to follow.
Once they sink germination cannot go any faster as they have absorbed max water for that stage.

I use a shallow dish, so they don't really sink. I would refine my method, but it works, and I killed to many fucking around before so why mess with it? Maybe when I'm a better grower.

Trust that if you use a glass or cup half filled after 12-24 hours they will have sunk to thecbottom or will with a gentle prod.
Try it, this tells you the seed coat has absorbed enough water and can be planted.
This is standard knowledge, you progress by trying it

I agree the longer you let it grow the more chance of screwing things up. I dont germinate at all anymore. Seeds go in a moist root riot plug and I pinch a little piece of the plug off and cover the hole with it. Go ahead and put it under veg lighting and in the time it would take to germinate in a towel you will have an already sprouted seedling.

Get a spare seed, soak root plug, lie seed on top next to hole, make sure pointy end is right over the lip of the hole....
Sit back and watch a seed plant and root itself
