Are these seedlings gonna make it?

I popped these seedlings the way i usually have, put the seeds straight into moist coco plugs. 6 seeds of Killer Glue from Little Chief Collabs

3 sprouted without needing assistance within a few days. The other 3 took 7 days and needed a little help breaking out of the seed shell and i had to snip the membrane to free the cotyledons. I am assuming the cold winter air may have made it slow (i have the seed plugs in a dome under CFL propagation tubes and a bar heater underneath)

Once i freed the slower seeds from their shells and the cotyledons popped open 2 of them look like the true leaf tips are brown. Are they gonna make it ? Did the stress of not being able to break open make them this way?

In any case i transplanted the plugs into small pots with coco in my veg tent under HPS dialled right down and high over them (maybe a foot) and gave them all a light water of Coco A+B at 0.8 EC

This is how they look

Tough to say at that early stage.
What I can say from my own experience is I have had sprouts that were slow starters that did eventually come around and get with the program, and some that didn't.
Could be temp related. What's the temp under the dome? Don't want it above 80 deg or below 75 . Also that .8 ec seems a bit high for those babies. Maybe half that to .4. even that might be high. Or maybe it's me that's high.
I'm no pro. Just going from past experiences.
Good luck to you, and keep us posted on their progress.
Keep on growing....
