You can put them under 24hr light at this point.

You'll be fine but if they do manage to stretch too much you can always bury the stem to just under the cotylodon leaves

I buried them abit more this morning before the photos so I shall put them under light straight away when I get home
they look fine to me. as stated put them under light immediately at this point the longer you wait the more stretched they will get. you really don't want them to have the seed shells still stuck on them if it does happen that is okay as well you can always remove it by misting some water on it to soften the shell and let it go and if it still doesn't come off pry it off carefully as you can damage the seedling by doing so.
i've had the shells stuck on mine most of the time but i plant near the surface as well they will do fine though. only thing is because there is no light it might stretch a bit but thats an easy fix. continue to not over water and do not feed yet. if running coco then advise someone who has experience with coco as i only run peat moss based soils.

That information is wrong. I feed my plants in coco from the day they sprout - you never use plain water in coco. If you want to know how to grow in coco, I suggest reading the grow guide from www.cocoforcannabis.com. Good luck.

Thanks mate il read it now
i think OP said he was growing in a 50/50 ffof/coco mix. ffof contains some nutrients supposedly to last 3-4 weeks. if pure coco yes people already advise to start feeding. also on a side note how would he PH his medium because the 2 types require different PH i have no experience and am curious as well.

I think you might have your threads mixed up my friend. Other than your advice to not feed for 3 weeks, where in this thread does anyone advise to start feeding? And the OP doesn't say he is growing in a 50/50 ffof/coco mix. What post #'s do you refer to my friend?

From elsewhere on the forum:
The 3 weeks thing is based off ffof not coco. I'LL go dig up where i saw this but you could be right maybe 2 different threads
