So how long should I keep seeds in water for? It has been 24 hours, and the tail are just starting to show. Should I wait to transfer them to there plugs, or should I pull them at first signs of hatching...

If you really want you're seeds to crack do this. Get a paper towel, wet it, put the seeds in it, fold it, put in a zip lock zip bag, put in a window for a week or 2. It works trust me. Just make sure it gets a lot of light.

Um..Dude, they are cracking right now! In less then 24 hours half of them are showing tails, I am wondering how much longer I should keep them submerged in the water/superthrive/rooting hormone... This is the fastest germination system I have ever witnessed...Anyone out there have any suggestions on how much longer I should keep them underwater?

I just did not know if submerging them for much longer could hurt them somehow..

I think I may have plants growing in there in 2 days! LOL, they are growing fast!

Transplant into soil as soon as you see the root coming out with the paper towel method. Be very careful with it, it is delicate. Try to put the root pointing down. Best way IMO
