Okay how is everyone?
Hope Well
heres the thing, its been almost 48 hrs into germination and seeds are in a paper towel. White tails are extending out pretty well. However I just found out I cant transplant them into rockwool until Friday the earliest.
It is Tuesday here. Even though they are ready to be moved is it possible to keep them in the paper towels until Friday? thanks

Because I would have to transport 10+ pots over 200 miles. If they were in the towel and any problems were to happen....

They want out, but you're kind of stuck. Keep 'em very moist but not sloshing in a flat tray. They will root to the paper and each other. Use scissors to separate them as best you can, and pot each seedling, strip of paper and all. If 2 are intertwined inextricably, choose the more vibrant one, and cut the other away.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, but if you're swift you understood what the pictures meant.
1st one was diagnosis negative if you don't transplant.

2nd picture was the death of your seeds if you left them in a napkin for 3 more days.

I have left sprouts sitting in towel for a few days... actually had the 2 colydon leaves and the husk was off too. They were fine. But not any longer than that as they need light.
