are you rooting in a freezer or something? mine are in a room temp area never exceeding 75f and they're perfect every time.
but if thats all that works for you, and you dont mind the extra efforts, go for it.

nah haha but its pretty cold in my flat and we can't have the heater on too much, when I germinated my first set of seeds I just had them on the table and they took about 10 days to sprout a long enough tap root to plant, but I put my second set of seeds on top of the boiler and they went fuckin crazy and sprouted in three days and were longer than the first set, so I figured heat above my average room temp is good for them, guess I'll wait and see if it makes a difference

no need to wait for a taproot length, only the appearance of one. they will die in plain water eventually, why bring them close to death before you plant

..because thats what nature does??
some growers pop a seed in the dirt
some soak for a day first, others wait for a root to show
some use paper towel to wet others pray.
the key is to locate the ones with the little rolled up scroll inside, thats where the directions are
