Need more water?

Hey all I'm new here. Planted my seeds about 3 or 4 days ago. First time grower as well. I used rockwool that I soaked until they couldn't hold anymore water then I dropped the seeds in and put them in a humidity dome. It's usually about 70 to 80% humidity and around 80ish degrees in there constantly.

I noticed today some browning on the initial taproot... something to be concerned about? I did a lot of research and I know they don't need notes to germinate, or technically light. Just warmth and humidity to shed their "hibernation" hormones coated on the shell. They also said not to water it until you see the first set of fake leaves.

Attached are pics.

Seeds want moist, not wet/flooded. Could be too wet. Root should remail white-yellowish. Brown can be a bad sign.
Also, domes are for cuttings to maintain humidity, not for seedlings.
Good luck!

Yeah, my grow tent I can keep at a pretty high humidity level, so I'm gonna do away with my dome. Thanks for the reply!!

Yeah, I agree with Creature. Likely a bit too saturated. Personally, I have never been into germination in plugs or rockwool. I prefer going straight into a small container with whatever preferred medium. I also pre-soak if they are old. But, less is more. They are fragile.
