Forgot seeds in paper towel

Okey, I know its stupid.

But a life event got me distracted and I totally forgot that I started to germinate some seeds in paper towel. Well that was last Friday afternoon ago and today is the 3rd day.

When I opened it today, I have roots like 3 inches long, no kidding, I even have two that the shell have completely fell off.

Needless to say, it freak me out. I have them in rockwool now with the developing cotyledon sticking out (brown color) under light.

Just wondering if you guys have experience this and how did your germinating seeds end up?

Dying. Yeah they pretty much died.

that's sucks. Well I'll have mine sit under light for a few days and see if I can salvage a few. They are not dried, paper towel was still moist. So crossing finger here. Havent grown skunk #1, it would be a pity if they all die.

Just checked them a minute ago, cotyledons are slightly turning green now. Good sign, i'll leave them under lights for 24 hrs., see if photosynthesis kicks in

They’ll be fine

I agree. With some tender care they will grow.

Just happy to report that the germinated seeds are doing great, just have to plant them deeper than normal.

I left some so long that I forgot I even put them in...They were dead dead dead.

This is why I always use a plastic bag.

I’ve had some start rooting through the papertowel and that’s a gentle procedure to get em out

Try a coffee filter. Stays moist and root hairs don’t stick.
