I'm sure its the second true leaf. You get two leaves created by the seed and all subsequent are produced by the new plant. Its the second true leaf that dictates the direction of the main vine. I don't think its an exact science though!

Not too late by the way. Just don't overwater until sprouted. The seeds can easily rot.
