I not realy sure but you dont want them in there to long, then you risk letting the root dry out. Uncle ben might stop by and he should have a better understanding on germination goodluck and if I was you I would plant now

They need air........ either by bubbling the water, changing it really frequently, etc.

The longer you wait to plant them, the more likely you are to damage the root.

What are you waiting for?

Me and my friend are scrambling to find a place to grow them. That's why. How will leaving them in water dry out the root?

There are ways around finding a place

If your parents arnt all over the weeds in the yard you can do this. I used to put all of my germinated seedlings in the front yard flower bed. Good soil and a quick spot to go and water. Like I said, if your parents do a lot of yard work it is no good. Once you find a spot transplant!

After growtip shows seedling only has proteine for few days. If seedlings wont get nutrients from water or soil, light and oxygen that root will start to decompose. Seedling should not grow without nutrients from soil and/or water more than 3 days.

PatoBanton atleast transplant seedlings to small pots or cups and give them 4 hours or more sun per day.
