If the root is left exposed it will react to the air flow and light and lose its tiny hairs and produce a defensive shell. It will become something like a stem - not what you want.
If your root, which is WHITE is popping out, CAREFULLY pick the seedling out of the medium and re-plant it, not compacting the soil.
got home from work to find that the bit of water i gave it this morning seems to have helped the seed right itself, that and maybe after 2 days its getting used to the new cool white 6400k combined with the 14w warm white 2700k.
hopefully wont need to try and carry out the almost surgical precision you guys mentioned - thanks anyway though.
going to try and upload some pics now.

bought 5 x big bang from GHS and only the 3 left (1 casualty so far AAAAHHH!!!) want the other to have the best start in life hence waiting to see if this one get going before germinating the rest.
tryi ng to upload pics but cant figure it out - have created an album but how do i put them on this thread?
god, i need to learn how to spell or atleast type slower and read what i am writing.
if anyone has any thoughts on my cabinet and the methods i should use for extraction & venting i would greatly appreciate it, i have heard mixed thoughts regarding the pc fans - not strong enough etc. also how best to wire them up a 12v adaptor is req'd i think but its pretty easy to blow the fan if you wire up wrong.
by the way i have a 23w warm white cfl energy saving bulb in the middle of the cab and will have 2 x 20w cool white cfl energy saving bulbs one either side (in the pics they are both 9w warm whites either side of the 23w bulb). so will total 63w eventually in there.
also i will make sure its light proof as i intend on it sitting in the corner of my flower room to provide me with a mother that can just keep on giving.
perhaps a bit too advanced for a noob but i really want to jump in feet first and not have to keep paying out for fem seeds, plus have to wait 4 months between harvests.
