Planting the Germinated Seed

Ok I'm just wanting your opinion on this idea...

It seems like when I germinate a seed, and it cracks, I can either put it in right when the seed cracks into the soil, or wait for the rootlet to become about a 1/2 inch to an inch long and then plant it.

My last two attempts with seeds I placed them in the soil when just cracked and white is visible. But they seem to take way longer to start growing and poping the seed cover above teh soil.


But my two plants that our growing right now, the rootlet was about 1/2 an inch to an inch long when we decided to plant it, and it seems to grow faster that way..


Is it personal preference?

It just seems like the seed's rootlet grows faster while being germinated than being grown in soil

I have had them come out of the soil in a day after germing a little too long I think. They had even shed the seed already in my germination container before being planted (forgot to check on them one day)
