Only time to worry or possibly intervene is if the membrane is stuck… but yours is fine

Autoflower Germination
This is my first time growing autoflowers. While both seeds popped, one opened up “normal” the other has remained partially closed. I am starting to see hints if green. Is this normal? Do I just need to remain patient? It’s been less than a week since they popped

Help with seedlings falling over and dying :/
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

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?

Plant stress
Did I stress the plant too much? I accidentally did not release it in schedule 18H. The timer of my plant was running 24H for the beginning of growth. I know, too stupid.

Seed potential
Will the weaker looking seeds also become weaker plants (compared to their bigger, faster germinated neighbours)?😶

Avoiding dumping off
Hi guys! It's been a while! I'm trying to get back in the game, but I got a HUGE problem: I lose all my seeds to dumping off. I've tried different substrates, different sizes of pots, different weather, to no luck. Is there a fungicide I can use? (Continue)

Many of my attempts don't make it past seedling.
What could be the problem? Done 3 grows now. Each time germinated several seeds. I can almost always get a tap root but when I plant, many never sprout and those that do sprout, half remain small and never grow past 2 little leaves. I'm always growing autos.

Withered up
Well my little guys did not make it all the way to the veggie state... They withered up even though it seemed like I was doing everything correctly. What are some tricks of the trade getting a seed past germination into veg?

Sprouting delay. How long do I wait? Are lights on and fans running important while waiting for germinated seeds to sprout? I lightly water the medium.
Germinated autos by paper towel method, & put them in soil 2 days ago. The still haven't sprouted out of the soil. How long should I wait? I'm trying to keep humidity between 60-70% and temperature 20-24C. The LEDS are on 18/6 and the fans are running for the pots. What do I do?
