when to put under lights

[djh]

i planted 3 germinated seeds on sunday at my friends house, he phoned me yesterday (tuesday) saying they have sprouted about 1cm out of the soil
i am just wondering when do i put them under my 250w 6500k cfl (envirolite)
i was thinking maybe tommorrow or friday, do you think this will kill the plants if they are still only small ??

sorry dont have no pics because they are at a friends house

thanks

Light 'em up now. It will only help, not harm. Be sure and read up in GrowFAQ.

your method seems fine as long as you were clincal in not touching the taproot.
1/2" is really to deep so it will take longer.
i dont pre germ my seeds in towels or water and they always sprout in 72-85 hrs from planting directly into the soil.
and i plant my seeds 1/4"deep.
next time you should start your seeds this way.

it is by far the simplest/easiest/safe and cleanest way to germ seeds.
paper towels and soaking seeds is just ridiculous and a complete waste of time.
give them time and all should be good as it will take longer if you have planted them 1/2" deep.
good luck and dont worry.
