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

So I know that you should generally transplant autos just once, as in germ in tissue ect and then put into a small pod and when it pops thru the soil, transplant into its final grow pot or direct to final pot. Can you transplant twice before the final pot…I’ll post a pic below

Whe do they emerge from the soil?
Aprox, how many days after planting them into the soil should it be expected to see the seedling rise? My BB showed mini true leaves in 24 hrs (after putting it into the medium), but my WW has not yet emerged.

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.

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.

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!

Could someone please look at my two seedlings and tell my why they are falling over? I planted four golden goat seeds, which all sprouted. However, two have already completely fallen over and died. The one with the makeshift supports was completely flat this morning. Thanks

Methods to avoid stunted seedlings
Does anyone have any favored methods to avoid stunted seedlings? It hasn't happened to all of my seedlings, but at least three crops have had this issue. I already use Coast of Maine seed starter, usually in small solo cups, before switching to the main soil.
