Light does make them go a bit green, and they do get a bit softer with prolonged chitting as they lose some of their water content.

If the chits look OK, and they're slightly soft rather than mushy, they should be fine.

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

You wouldn't be in much doubt if they were rotting - there aren't many worse pongs in this world than from a rotting potato IMHO!  :ohmy:
