Hey guys, new guys here. Been researching, reading content, watching videos, and lurking these forums for a couple of months now. Finally starting my first grow and I have a question about germinating in water. I have read that for this method, the seed should pop in approximately 16-24 hours. I have also seen warning regarding leaving it in the water for too long and how it could drown the seed/root if it remains in the water for an excessive length of time after popping. My seed has been in the water for about 26 hours now. It popped about 5 hours ago, so 21 hours after the process began. However, only the radicle is visible through the small crack in the side of the seed.
I would like to ask, since it has been in the water for much longer than I have seen recommended, should I leave it until it is finished, or should I remove it early, maybe switch it to a wet paper towel, or just drop it into soil? Is there risk of drowning it with just the radicle exposed for so long? Thanks in advance for the help guys.
