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

Unbelievable germination, 2 close plants, risk of root damage, lack of space when growing...
😮Hi, introducing the seeds in the rock-wood cubes, one escaped and felt inside the clay. I did not find it... BUT!!, it germinated and now reached out through a small hole of the top tap. Do I let them close? Should I take the risk to lift the tap and move it, change the place?

Germination
I was wondering how long do I keep waiting for seeds to germinate. Did I do something wrong I just put them straight into dirt and hp the water to 6.0 and I spray the pots daily and have them under the dome for moisture but now so far one sprouted in 8days.

Seedling stopped growing?
I have 2 seeds of the same strain. One of the seeds appears to have stopped growing. The shells were stuck on both plants for a few days before I removed them. One of them is growing just fine:s What could be going on here? They are under the exact same conditions.

Sprout with seed cover
When they sprout with the seed cover still on, is it better to leave them alone to outgrow it or help them by trying to pull it off? How many days until you should start worrying or taking action? Thanks!

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.

Lights on or off during germination?
Just put my seeds straight into the soil for germination. Should I turn the light off during this step at all? Or does it even matter?. Right now I'm running it 24/7 but not opposed to turning it off a couple hours if it doesn't hurt the germination. Want to save my lights.

Germinated - Should I move them to the tent now?
One of my 5 seeds has sprouted her first leaf! I've named her Astrid. Should I move her to the tent now, or wait till the others have sprouted? (They're currently next to an Aerogarden light.)
