No, Keep it dark until you see the seed pop out.

Why did my seedlings all die?
My seedlings all died. This is the second time. What am I doing wrong? They germinate, I plant them in Promix HP soil, they pop up in a few days. I move them to the tent. Most of them never even lose their seed caps before they die, but a couple get real leaves first.

Purple on seedling?
I popped this random seed this week. Is this purple from genetics or is it in distress?

RH for Seedlings
If my seeds have germinated, what RH should they be at now? Should I keep them in the humidity dome? It’s been a week since they popped.

Is the light far enough away?
Id like to make sure I'm not wrong in positioning the TS600 60cm above the rockwool cubes for germination.

Hello ! I made germintae my seed in a moist paper. When I saw the root just coming out. I directly plant it into a soil mix with coco and perlite. It's been now 5 days and she still hasn't coming out of the soil. Did I do something wrong? I'm worried for my baby.

#8 Has a Twin
#8 of the phenotype hunt has twin seedlings. Has anyone had experience on growing out in a larger than normal pot? I will be sure to get a cut of each one. Curios about variances in a single seed.

Round leaf missing from Critical 2.0 Seedling from time of seed shells removal
If a seedlings round leaf were to have fallen off with the seed shell in a whitish yellowish color but it was just a single round leaf and the rest of the plant seems healthy would that seriously impact the plant? Thank you for any help!

Seed not emerging from soil :(
Pre-germed a seed and placed it about 2cm deep into Canna Terra Professional Plus soil, approximately 12inchs below a 240W HPS light. Watering around 0.1 liters a day. The seedling has yet to emerge from the soil. Am I doing anything wrong? At what point should I start worrying?

Helmet head semi-released - a goner?
Will she ever come out? Its been 3-4 days now that the helmet has been up, and having seen no change I tried to release her from the cage. Got half off, but no green underneath? Is she basically dead?
