seeds

i have 4 seeds potted. 2 blue cheese, 1 big bang 2 and a free seed i got power africa. Geminating the power afterica did so much better and in the space of 2/3 days had a route popping out about 10/12mm so i potted it. The other 3 started showing after another 2 days or so. potted when they got to about 5/8mm as i didnt want them to far behind. Its been just over a week now. Power africa had leafs with in another 2 days of potting, and now about 60/70mm tall with a second set of leafs showing.
problems with others are the big bang is about 20mm tall but seed shell still on top ( i think its a little scared so keeping its crash helmet on)
the blue cheese looks rubbish, barely out the soil, but looks to be going a little black. is this something i should expect?

i have them on 24 hour light in a space about 15 inch squared with a 20w cfl. i have another 20 and 2 x 24's wired up but not on due to the heat of them all.


any advice before i give up on the blue cheese?

its normal for different seeds to sprout at different times.. as for the one that still has the helmet ... i wouldnt touch it. if it is still on there after one week remove it. as for the blue cheese just wait another week or so... if it hasnt started growing by then just toss it... patience man

Here's what I see....blah blah blah blah and no pic. I'll come back when there is one.
