Slow starters, fast seedlings swayed with light?

I have 1 speedy seedling coming up fast and now 1 poking up and last 3 of 5 not seen yet.

Question, should I just wait a little more or sway the other 3 out with light because of the fast starter?
Thanks
Tom

You have the weirdest ways of asking questions. I cant help you because I cant understand what you are asking.

if the seed popped then the light should be on, if the others are taking a while they don't have to be under lights but i've found the heat from the lights help germination, but be patient with the others, also i hate rockwool for seeds but thats just me

ok I see where this is going. pacman said it. The germinating seeds like heat and humidity, just make sure the heat doesn't dry the seedling out. Also, if the light is too far way it will cause the plant to stretch. This is not good as the plant will later fall over under its own weight.

Is that sarcasm? Are you really going to ask for help with missing words in your questions and then give someone a hard time for helping you?

Wait for someone to come along that understands it the first time before jumping in with nothing but "I don't understand twice".

I understood the question, don't know what was so hard? Anyway Maybe because I am in the same boat and every grow I tend to overthink things. Meaning I am so anxious for things to go perfect that I look for problems. I germinate my seeds then after tap root has come out of the shell I put them in the RW about a 1/4 inch and wait for them to crack the surface. I always have a couple of fast starters that need light and don't want to wait. I use three floro's 42=150 watt. Good luck they'll be fine!

want to know what i did last grow that may make u cry (if u can speak cannabis) : i had 4 square jiffy's connected and i put 4 different strains ineach one, i had em on a heating pad in my drawer and i had a sheet with all the names of them and one day i took em out for a misting had em in my sink and thunk to myself "did i turn the cups or go straight out" I almost slammed my head into the wall right there and then. but it wasnt so bad cause of belssed Jock Horror (the stupid little fuck) but i knew that my jock horror beans before this one all stayed EXTREMELY short from seedling stage all the way to flower so if it popped i would know which was which. and u guessed it did and that is why i still have a head. it was a dumb story that basically says "don't be a dumbfuck and you'll be fine"
