Seedlings and cotyledons are white as can be

Hello I started some seeds in wet soil and there was plastic over the top, I woke up to them being sprouted so I took off the plastic, but the cotyledons are really pale looking even after being under the light a few hours. Has anybody else had this because I don’t ever remember them being this pale, yellow maybe but not pale white, thanks in advance

Be pateint

But in future 1 seed 1 pot imo

What are you running for a light and how close is it? I wonder if you are too close and are bleaching them?

This is completely normal. They will turn green and open up in a day or two. Make sure theyre under lights

Alright thank you guys, and for now just under a 16" flourescent maybe 10 inches away, until they grow a few sets of leaves then i have a 220w led grow light im going to veg and flower under its dual spectrum, i normally use hps but i said" why not try led out" lol, ive heard decent reviews on them. Any of you guys have any experience with them?

Which LED are you speaking about? Also, what size HPS did you previously grow under?

I usually only grow 1 to 2 medium sized plants at once so i had a 250w hps with a cool tube but it still got way too hot and could never keep the grow tent completely closed during day cycle (more than likely because of the fan i was running wasnt the best). I heard leds run way cooler so i picked up one it isnt the most expensive, but the brand is Vander life. I bought it online for $120, is says its a 2000w replacement, but actually only draws 220w

They'll green up once you put some light on them, don't water until the cup is light as fuck.
