germination probleeeems!!!

hi people... im a little worried about i future cannabis!
basically i germinated 8 good quality seeds, but here is the problem...
as soon as a few of them sprouted in the paper towel i got too excited and put them in little pots of soil and under the lamp for 18h on and 6 off and after 3 days of that... a friend told me that the lamp would slow the process down and i should keep it off till i see sprouts poppin out of the soil... so i did !!! but its been 3 days since i dont have the light on anymore and only 1 sprout is visible!! im afraid i might have burned the others!! maybe someone could let me know what they think and make me worry a bit less !!!
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
AND LET JAH GUIDE AND PROTECT ALL FORIVER
peace

Hmm, not sure mate. I wouldn't worry tho, it might take a few more days. Just make sure they're wet and warm, but also remember to keep em ventilated (if you don't then you might have mold issues). Be patient, let nature take it's course.
Good luck

It would depend on what light you using, i always have a light above once i have moved them from germinating, it gives them an idea of where to head for, you can certainly cook any plant at any stage if the light is too close.

What lighting are you using

im using 400watt hps.... with a humidifier, and a fan !
peace and thankx alot in advance!

if the light is 4 foot away at this stage it will be fine any closer and you do run the risk of cooking them, but make sure that the medium is adequately moist.

thats alot of light on new babies
