10 day sproutlings with no noticable roots. First time grower.

As said about...-face palm-

Alright, so I was listening to a friend who I've seen grow but it would appear to me at the sight of my plants that he's wrong. First of all I was about 30 hours late on getting the seeds germinated because i was told i wouldn't have to take it out of the bag or paper towel and would see clear roots.

Well after sitting and waiting for what felt like the wrong period of time I decided to open up the bag anyways and see a mess of roots shooting out of four seeds; I had a hell of a time getting it in the rock wool. I did not know about soaking the rw beforehand at the time. After six days there was one that had absolutely no growth and my damn curious-self started messing around with it and killed it.

I'm left with three, very nubby sprouts and one looking very dehydrated to the point of almost on the way out. I have them in this 8 qt clear tub with water just barely touching the bottom of the rw, the rw is as saturated as it could possibly get. There is syran wrap at the top and every time i come in there's moisture all up the sides of the tub. The light i honestly can't remember what it was called but its one of those fat swirly bulbs that doesn't unscrew and you have to get the metal reflector around it for it. It was about two feet away and in the last two days in a worry for the girls I moved them about seven inches away from them. It's not exactly warm in there(I am an arizonan though so i get cold at like 70) but its certainly not hot at all. I was told to give them two to four hours of darkness to simulate the sun.

Any DETAILED info you have to share I would really appreciate. I would hate to see these girls go down like this.
