today i took a chance...

[galaxytrash]

normally i use the paper towel method, and move the seedlings once the first tiny leaves have formed. but i usually end up damaging some of the longer roots no matter how careful i try to be.
so this time, i transplanted a couple days earlier....i did about 40, 90% of them were just showing a tiny root forming, some 1/16" long, some up to 3/4' long.
is it okay to do it like this? or is it better to wait until the stem/leaves form.

thnx in advance for any help given.
