Is my seed ready to plant yet?

I'm trying to germinate my seeds with a paper towel in a ziplock bag in a dark warm place it's been 2 days and it popped right out of the seed, but just a little bit. Should I put it back in the ziplock and wait another day or two for the root to get longer or is it ready to just plant right now? The route is just barely poking out. Thanks

longer root it's easier to damage when transplanting, do it now

Should I put it in my grow tent after I plant it? I have my LED light raised all the way to the top.

sure, as soon as you seedling hatch light is needed, just take it easy for a few days, than get light closer and closer

Wait until it's an inch long, usually takes one to three days additional. Make sure you wet the paper towel down very well before you remove the seed, sometimes the tap root grows/fuses into the paper towel and is extremely fragile. Leave it in the zip lock but each day open the bag and blow in it to circulate a little air.

I make sure they crack then place in the soil, 100% rate on 6 seeds for my current grow.
