I put a light on them as soon as they break through the planting medium... that way they know which way they're supposed to grow, LOL

^ agreed. A 6500k cfl bulb goes over the seedling as soon as it breaks soil.

Good luck to you. =)

Once my seeds are planted I put them under a light, never know when they will pop, if you're not there they may starve for lack of light.

I leave mine in the dark for the first 12 hours or so after I've moved them from the paper towel to the pots, then put them under 18/6.

Would go with light, which could help (before it breaks the top) - depending on the light transmittance through the medium, type of soil (composition-wise), and the depth at which it was put into the soil.
