Okay so I got 3 seeds that's in between moist paper towels, the roots are 1/4 an inch. My question is, how long can I leave the seeds cracked in the paper towels? I gotta leave em due to no light for them. How long till they die? Or what?

Not long means hours? Or days? Weeks would be good

Theoretically, you can move them into your soil medium now (if your using soil). They don't need any light at this stage, near window sill or a cool warm place will be fine.

You should of put that into consideration before germinating them. Technically, you could leave them in the paper towels a "short while" longer, but I would recommend planting them and moving them into a warm area of the house (if there is one)..other wise you'll have to make do.

Once the seed shell breaks away the plant will suffocate before long.

I've had seeds germ and left them in the paper towel for about a week and they are fine... I did open the bag tho and let them breathe, they had their first set of true leaves growing and all... plus, they won't need a proper grow light at the moment any way, you could put them cups with a little soil or whatever and keep them near a 60w desk lamp... they will survive for ages like that and grow towards the light... They wont thrive but they'll survive

Dude cough up 30 bucks. Go to HoDeep or BLowes, and get a 65w flouro yard light.

lol i went on vacation for a week and taped about 10 ziplock bags to the walls of my grow room with about 10 seeds in each one on a wet paper towel. when i came back home and checked almost all of them were about 1-2 inches long with their first sets of leafs and they were still in the bag. with that being said im sure for awhile. its like a mini hydro greenhouse
