You should have your light (I'm assuming a fluoro) at least a foot back from the plant when it first emerges, farther for HID. Over a period of about 2 or 3 weeks you move it gradually closer until it is as close as possible.

Again first rounded leaves dying is normal. Keep em warm and moist.
Opie Yutts Reviewed by Opie Yutts on . seedling/sprouting/help - please hey guys, i just wanted to ask a question about sprouting. I have germinated a seed about a week ago and while germinating i let the seed crack open and it had started to grow out a little. I then plantd it in a mixture of perlite/vermicuolite and soil. I let it sit until today and notihn had really happened so i finally went poking around and found the seed had somehow gotten about half way down the pot threw the soil. The seed had not really changed at all nd did not have a tail as Rating: 5
