Hey it's my first time growing and I've managed to get 2 seeds. So I followed a video that said it was %100 success rate. I put my seeds in a cup of water for 24 hours until they dropped to the bottom in which they have. Then I placed them between 2 wet paper towels in a zip lock bag inside a shoe box in a dark place which I have. The seeds have spent 24 hours in the shoe box I opened up to check on them and I saw they both have cracked open but I couldn't see any roots? Should I throw them away or keep them in the shoe box and wait until tomorrow?
 
It can take awhile for the tap root to appear. Even 2 days. Seems there's a sheath or sac it has to break through.

Thanks for the fast reply man! I really appreciate it thanks for the advice. I'll keep waiting
 
FYI: Consider soaking sometime to see how it compares. I did the paper towel thing and didn't feel comfortable disturbing the seeds, looking in on them. Soaking in a shot glass, I can look in anytime.

I add 1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide to 5 parts water. Oxygen precipitates out of the water, clinging to the seed as small bubbles. Helps hold the seeds to the surface, avoiding the risk of over-soaking. They just stay in the water until 2-3mm of tap root. Floating on oxygen bubbles. Easy to look at.
