My seeds are coming up root first!

I read a lot before I started, but 5 days in and already i have done something wrong. I sprouted my seed in water (around 2 1/2 days) and half of them had 3mm root tips, I popped them into pre-soaked rockwool in a propagation dome then whacked them under some CFL's. 2 days later and they are starting to break through, but all 3 plants that have broken through have their root tips reaching for the light, either this is some wicked shit and these seeds are stoned already, or I have messed up when I was planting. What should I do next time to prevent this, and do you think the seeds that had their roots exposed to light will survive?

Also is there such thing as a double seed, cause I went to turn the seeds around and found two sprouts where I had only planted one seed.

It's my understanding seeds can twin. Sometimes siamese twin so take a close look. If you can transplant them apart so their roots don't entangle while they are young so you can get two full plants out of them.

replant them with the root tip down

They are seperated now, one is much smaller and weaker, but you never know it may pick up.

Never heard of a seed coming up the wrong way. I wonder if it has to do with equatorial forces.. Are you in Northern Australia? Its fascinating for sure, I was always under the impression that gravity would cause the root to right itself.

The seed was probably set pointed side down without the proper amount of soil to cover it.
I've seen this a couple times and they'd always set themselves right on their own but then fell behind the others in veg.
Like runts of the litter if you will.

I may have a bermuda triangle situation going on in the corner of my bedroom, intensified by the mylar lol. I live about the middle of the east coast of australia. I overplanted so if they turn out runty i will pull them, but trying to account for males too.

Gravitropism (also known as Geotropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms.
I looked it up to make sure. If your vegetation starts growing toward the soil you should submit it to a science foundation, haha.

I don't think I will be submitting these specimens to the authorities.
