What's up with this night queen?

image.jpg image.jpg Popped these seeds on the same day, 6 days ago, all autos. For some reason three struggled to pop without their seed shell attached, by far the worst was my night queen. I gently flicked it and it sprung up, that was two days ago. Since then I've had no movement on it.
I know it's early days but I've not had a seed act like this before, so thought it would be a nice point of discussion.
Growing in rockwool with 5.5-5.8 ph water with 100ppm of nutes as of yesterday.

I will add that I'm struggling with high temps, 31c and above.. My cool tube comes tomorrow.

Not every seed developes, also it looks very wet to me .
Is being too wet an issue? I thought you couldn't overwater rockwool, alas I shall let them dry out a tad and see if it perks up tomorrow. A shame as I have an 100% germination rate so far :P (out of 10 plants) id hate to give up on one!

Do I need more light, less light?
I've not watered and emptied all the water from the tray it's in, I tried putting a glas on top as a kind of humidity dome, I don't think that helped though.
I don't want to tend to it too much and over do it though so I'm trying not to touch it :)

Are they under a light? I would get it out of that rock wool and get it into soilless medium and give it Kelp Juice and wait, thats me though. Yes you want moist but not wet, do not dome it leave it to breath.

Rockwool is a soilless medium? Im not sure what you mean.
They are under a 600w but in the very corner of my room in some shade. Maybe it's too much light still, I'll leave them by the window today maybe :)

Sorry I meant a soil medium not the wool, I dont personally use it. I keep my babies under a 8 bulb t5 then to a 250w MH then to the 600. have a good one.

Your 600 watt light may be just to much for them, do you have a flor T5s work best, to much light and to much heat is way to much for a seedling, Your Rockwool looks a bit damp, you can see the dark in the baby should be nice and white the darkness is caused by to much moisture, let her dry out a while and get the light away from it. she should pop back pretty soon.

Good luck

No joy, I tried less light, drying out the rockwool, but no joy. The leaves have turned white and the stem has turned green.
