My seeds have been germinating for about 4 or 5 days now. I heard it takes about 2-7 days for the germination process to come to an end, from what I've read and heard. About 1 1/2 days after I started germination, one fat seed already began sprouting a root so I planted it immediately. I haven't seen any progress with any more seeds or the planted seed yet. Some of the germinating seeds (There are currently 23 left), some shells seem to be cracking and it looks as if a tip of a root is try to come out.
