how long for seeds after crack?

18 of 20 of my seeds cracked about 24 hours after putting them in wet paper towels. now its been more than 60 hours and only 3 show signs of growth since opening. Is this normal or should I assume they have all died?

sometimes takes to a week to break through soil to hurry i normally put on heating pad to germ until finish seedling stage. after crack put in soil cover with plastic ziplock or seran wrap until show up through soil then remove bag at that point go under flour lighting just water until seedling stage finish in three weeks then start veg stage with 1/4 strenth foodand light schedule. lu

All mine I started this year all popped good tap roots within 72 hours, the last strain were all showing progress within 48 hours in rapid rooters. 60 hours after initial crack would be concerning to me but all strains are different.

heres an idea i had some THia super skunk that cracked in 2 days and then didnt sprout thru soil for 2 weeks..all seeds are different. if its a month and nothing they prolly dud seeds

once they crack you should put them in the ground, i always plant as soon as the seeds pop the shell, the plant is running on stored energy so its not good to let them sit for to long in towels
