I’m by far not an expert but to me they are looking too wet. edit: besides that they look pretty good. That light should be fine to start. ---

I remove my dome after 48 hours above ground. Found I had issues if I left it on longer. ---

I started mine like that. It was only about 12" from top. But quickly raised it to 18". You can wait and see if they stretch. Others with more experience will hopefully pipe in with some adivce. My basement is only 58-62 degrees right now. Tent is at 70 degrees during the day and 65ish at night. ---

Keep the heat pad. And lid holds rh at high levels. Seedlings love high rh. ---

Bro, go get some T5’s…50mm jiffy peat pots. Take your seeds and soak them in piss warm water for 6-8 hours…or until they sink. If they don’t sink in that time, the seed is no good. Get a warming mat and mondi trays with the lid. Get a paper plate and some paper towels…ok. Now, soak the paper towels in water and layer the paper towels in the bottom of the plate so there are 5 layers pour any excess water off. Now, take your seeds that have soaked and position them 1” away from each other on top of the wet napkins. Make another layer of wet napkins and lay them over your seeds. Place another plate over that to cover everything up and place in a warm dark room. In 24 hrs the seeds will tail out. Take the seeds and carefully place them in the 50mmjiffy seed starters after you have activated them with warm water. Place them under the t-5 lights in the mondi tray with a heat pad underneath at 80 degrees. Once the seedlings sprout in the jiffy seedstarters, open the vents on the mondi lids and place the t-5 light as close to the lid as you can. Do not Use nutrients for 10-14 days and hit em with 500ppm solution at a PH of 6.0
