I have two teensy seedlings (no real leaves yet) and wonder how much light to give them- somewhere I heard that non-stop 24/7 light would help them get going- did I dream this? Should they be on 18/6 instead?

I have them in a tray with a heating pad and a plastic cover under flourescents (6) - I took the cover off even though only two of the ten have popped up- should I have left it on to keep them moist?

I am very overprotective of my babies!
