Question for lily stratifiers

All three are fresh collections of L. columbianum and L. washingtonianum. These are 'immediate cool hypogeal' species and were warm stratified 30 days at 50 deg f then the last 2 weeks at 40 deg F. All have begun putting out a radical some reaching considerable length with signs of leaf shoot on a few. They're growing now in mesh bags buried in moist peat. Otherwise their condition is very nice, no mold.

Earlier this fall in October I field planted the same collections and this is a test to try stratification and tray planting. These radicals seem rather fragile. Is it time to move them to flats and continue chilling for another 60 days before placing outside?
