No the light won't hurt them but leaving the wrap on causes problems for the ones that have sprouted.

I remove it as soon as several have sprouted and the rest will either come up anyway or likely wouldn't have anyway. Or some say prop it open, fold it back part way or cut some holes in it. Whatever works to get some air inside for the ones that have germinated.

The fan is a great help as it also strengthens the stems. Just a light breeze - not a hard blow. ;)

Thanks a lot Dave. Right after I asked the question I went and checked and noticed a bunch more coming up. The first ones were up against the plastic roof so I took it off. The fan I have is a miniature desk fan.

It's a funny thing about germination. I have some seeds germinating, and I made sure they were damp and in the sun. Several sprouted. I was thrilled! They were NOT covered with saran wrap or anything! Just seeds sprouting.

Then, I went golfing. A warm, dry wind came up. I came home to sad little seedlings. I mean, really sad!! So, I brought them in away from the dry wind, doused them with water, and went to bed.

In the morning all of them were perky and happy!! I think as long as the root is alive, they will do their best to survive!!

Good luck to you!!
