if he broke the soil it means he can get under the light..

Agreed. Messing with the lil tender sprout may damage the fragile stem. The tap root should bend over and take off into the soil on its own. I would put a small layer of soil over it and be patient. it will be ok.

good point fight.
and DB&ST lets not be rude let HER do HER thing aha.
But fight, Did you plant sprout up or sprout down?
It should be fine to stick under a light from far away. around 11 inches would be safe, but once its a sprout go about 3-4 inches away if your using cfls due to no heat issues.
