i have a few freshed cracked seeds with the tails peeking out. my question is how long do the tails need to be before i plant them in soil?

so 24 hours light for the first part of life till they get how tall or old before you change the light to 20 on 4 off?

keep them under 24 hours of life until youre ready to flower, then switch to 12/12.

As for the length of the tails- when i germinate some seeds, generally theyll all be different lengths when i plant them, but generally 1/8" root or bigger goes in dirt, the rest go back in the paper towel. If you let the root get too long before putting it in the ground, it will be difficult to plant without damaging.

I place them in the dirt as soon as I see the first root(tail) crack. I also were latex gloves so i dont contaminate the beans.

good luck

ok so when i looked this morning they are about half a inch sticking out. do i just drop then in a hole in the soil or do i have to place them in with the tail sticking up towards the surface them lighty cover over?

root down, the tail is a root : ) the seed should be pointed up.

as the root grows it will grow down and force the seed its self to surface and leaves will emerge from the seed

Yes ^^

Stick your finger about a half inch in your soil, place the seed in, and gently cover it. Water

how much water is recommended? i just planted my sprouted seed and sprayed water over top so that the top layer of soil was 'wet' to the touch.

I used a shot glass and gave each seedling 1 shot every 2 days....

cool I will try that. how much water do you give planted seeds that haven't sprouted yet?

When I germinate seeds of any variety, I just cover their containers with a cut off pop bottle/glass to keep the humidity high, and the water trapped.

Don't let them dry out, until their leaves poke out.
