Okay, so where do I start.

First is my germinating problem. I had 2 seeds and germinated them with no problems, put them in soil and for some reason put 1 of them with the root sticking up and a bit out of the soil. If the root is drying out your doomed if not cover it up with dirt or replant it.

Next is my lighting problem. For some reason I thought they used 24 hour light right away instead of 18/6 for the first couple weeks. It has now been 4 days for the first 2 and about 1.5 days for my third (which im not worried about). 24 won't harm them but IMHO 18/6 is best.

My temperatures were getting up to 85degrees, but not worried in the long run as I will have a new area with better air flow. But the soil was getting very dry on top within a day and the 1 seed had the root peaking out for about 2 days. Hummmm not good, cover with dirt and hope. keep damp not wet!!



So now my problem is....are my first 2 seeds dead? I am so frustrated that I made these kind of mistake,s even after all my research.

You should be good man, the seed that you have the root sticking out of the dirt might try to turn into another plant. You can either cut that part of the root off or let it go and see what happens.

24/0 during germ or veg is fine, a lot of people do 24/0 instead of 18/6.

Your temps are a little high, but for germination and freshly popped seeds it's ok.
