How long should of tap root been before i planted?

Just planted 2 seeds that had a white tap root sticking out about 1/8-3/16 of an inch put into soil and lightly watered should it sprout or was the tap root to short?

Not too worry they should be fine.

Shorter than i would normally do but as Bk say's they should be ok....

should be fine dude aslong as u dont let the soil dry up dont forget they they can grow from just a seed in soil
just keep in cool place good luck

what temp is a "cool place"? I was under the impression cause I softened 2 seeds up in water then planted in soil 2 days ago that I need no light yet just a warm place between 72-80f now that I planted the other 2 beans that germinated this am and put them in the same room...still keeping the light off waiting to sprout out of soil....have kept the soil moist but not soaking wet ....

thx fairly new to all of this

do they need to have a ziploc bag done put over them as well or?

Just do what you are doing they should be great! A ziplock bag is not such a bad idea either. It will help raise the rh but not too tight they still need fresh air intake.

im not flooding the cups but im drizzling water over every 6 hours it seems, how often should these cups be watered i think the jiffy cup itself is absorbing alot of it

there holes in the cup? water til it comes outa the bottom, them stop, wait a few days, do it again

yah im using number 4 jiffy cups and there is holes in the bottom....i read from fellow posters not to over water but not to let dry out and that if i water heavily the seed may sink or rise but bigger then i needed but I didn't wanna keep transplanting

thx

Not to doubt anyone. I give my pre-sprouts and seedlings just enough water around the seed or the stem to keep them moist. If the soil is allowed to dry a small bit the roots will grow out in search of moisture. I give them only about a shot glass or so of water every other day for the first week or so. Also if you have the zip locks on them, hey are holding plenty of moisture I am sure. Did I say something about pics?

once i find my usb cord for the cam I will start taking puics right now there just seeds waiting to sprout out of soil

thats fine like someone else said i would have waiting a tad longer before planting but thats just me... and yea everything sounds fine. and as bkb said the roots will search for moisture so let it dry
