when to plant geminated seeds?

[prevaricate]

Hey everyone. New grower here. I am in the process of germinating some seeds to test out growing with. My question is, once the taproot starts to break out of the seed, how long should I wait to get that into its medium. In my case, soil. I tried to search around a bit and couldnt find a good answer, so sorry if this is a repost, or there is a sticky on this already. If so, just point me to it, and I will be glad to read away. Thank you in advance.

Depending on how many seeds your starting (if it's like 10 or 20) just put them right in the soil. About 1/2 inch deep. If your starting many seeds and are limited for soil and pots then start them in paper towel first. As soon as you seed a root put it in soil right away.

Plant as soon as you can see a root appearing......

Plants need food. The reason soil growers are told not to "feed" seedlings for a week or more is that soil IS food. Get them in soil. Starving the baby? Bad.
