Is my auto germ already in bad shape?! Nervous

Hey RIU, this is my first time growing autoflowers. I ordered a bunch from seedsman, and decided to start with Sman Blueberry and Dutch passion Night Queen. I popped the beans right into the soil (I did ffHF top 3 quarters and ffof bottom quarter of 3 gal fabric pots). Im using a spider farmer sf1000 for a 2.5x2.5x6 tent. I set the light 24 inches above pots, 20/4 schedule, very lightly watered and covered with clear humidity covers. Set my rh to 70 and temp around 77-80. After almost 3 days they both popped. The blueberry looks more vigorous than the night queen already. Yesterday I took the covers off the pots and just left them all day. Today I’m seeing the fan leaves on the blueberry growing healthy, but the night queen first node looks wilted small and droopy. I raised the light to about 30” above, lowered the rh to 50 and the temps around 75-76. I’ve been lightly spraying tap water while germinating, but today I watered with distilled water, not much just enough to damp the surface a little. Hopefully the night queen heals up and starts rejuvenating itself. Little worried cause I know autos are very time sensitive. Any tips or comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys

Tips? Yes. Relax :)

Advice? Don't hover over them. They do just fine in nature without our help.

They look totally normal

Damn! What did you do to those seedlings? Flush with 3 times the pot volume of water and then check runoff pH. Then calmag, calmag, calmag. That will get those day old seedlings healthy again. "sarcasm" :bigjoint:

They look fine. Leave them alone and let them grow.
