I heard some guy in a YouTube video saying at germination, with two row barley, compared to six row, for the same length of acrospire, the length of the root is less
Look at my barley
Roots are short while the acrospire is at about 75-80 percent of the length of the barley just in two to three days after I started the germination process(temp here is at 25 most of the day)
One more question
The video also said that if you press the barley and it forms a paste between your fingers then it's ready to go to the next step which is drying
Is that correct?
 
Google 6 row barley vs 2 row and you will see the difference in appearance. I don’t malt so I cannot address the acrospire question.
