ok my seedling poped out of the ground yesterday and today it has a small white stem and the seed shell still on without showing signs of it popping off yet
Do i turn on the lights now? or will that dry it out? when do i turn the lights on when the seed shell is almost off? i just dont want it to stretch

HID Lighting (Metal Halide & HPS) might be a little too much for it, but if you had CFL's, it wouldn't hurt to keep it a good 10-15 inches away for an 18/6 lighting schedule.
