I opened the tent to lower the light and wwL has come to life ! My first instinct was to think she was a dud .

Just for reference wwL = white widow left wwr= white widow right so I can differentiate the plants

Running an led you should be able to get much closer. My dad and I run by the rule that it's only too close if the plant shows you she can't handle it.

Wow that’s low . I’ll keep dropping them gradually according to how theyre reacting
If the seedling that still has the seed casing on it is still somewhat in soil, put a small heap of soil over top of it. Make it push through for medium to help remove the seed casing

I like to put drops of water on the casing to soften it up, then follow Backlipslides instructions

Current Situation - both plants have risen . I watered the soil heavy on Sunday while the seeds were germinating . I buried the seeds Monday afternoon and have been misting both pots since then . Both lots feel very light . Keep misting or give a proper watering?

Water will soften it up. Then you may need to attempt to get it off but give it time. See if it goes natural

Was this a result of not tamping the soil down enough on top of the seed or just something that happens ?

I've had it happen a couple times. The one thing you will learn with this hobby is that it's full of variables. You will notice differences in your w plants of the same strain even. Don't get discouraged though. There is always some kind of solution.

It happens. I like to try to plant them a little deeper than most to get the helmet to pop off before breaching the surface

Like silver fox said above. Just plant it a bit deeper then you did last time. The reason they stay on because they don’t have enough medium to work through, and the friction of such pulls the casing off naturally.

Nothing new to report really lights are at 26” and running 24hr . Seed husk is still on wwR they both have gotten a little taller . My humidity is in the 30s thinking of adding a humidifier tomorrow. Weather has been crazy here .Gave them a very light spray with h2o top layer of soil is dry but underneath is still a little damp . Rather err on the underwater side then over Also consider ordering megacrop . Hope everyone’s having a high Friday!!
Yep nice and quiet around here... the craziest my Friday’s get are deciding if I want cheetos, or Doritos! 
@6thsense this^
you could try the water droplet idea. I’ve never personally tried it but I’ve read it works. Leave a water droplet on the casing for a while to loosen it up, then you should be able to pry it off.
