Sprouting seeds under Cellophane?

I finally got my greenhouse seeds from attitude. I germinated them for 2.5 days until they cracked and root tip started to emerge. I just planted them (root tip down) in some soil , sprayed it down so its damp and then covered them with cellophane to keep the humidity up. My question is, should I put holes in the cellophane? And when do I remove the cellophane? I was going to remove it once the seedling sprouts.

Thanks in advance.

Any ideas? I was reading that cellaphane does breath a little so some air should be passing through it.

Keep it how it is, they'd grow either way but leaving it without holes is just like one of those mini-greenhouses people use for germination. Just make sure that once the seeds start to break soil you remove it so they don't water log and rot.

Thanks for the advice! I have one of those clone domes but the square pots are too wide at the top, they wont fit under the dome.
