When to take saran wrap off top of seedling/seed

As the title says, When should i take suran wrap off the cup of my seedling? I planted 6 seeds yesterday, 2 of them sprouted, should i take the suran wrap off as soon as they pop up or till they cant grow any higher??

I thought they needed to breath so to take the suran wrap off once they pop.

Ummmm...... what saran wrap?

when the sprout pops up

yea they need to breath if u leave it on too long u will kill ur sprout

why is it on? if thats stupid then i'm sorry

Make sure it gets some air underneath the edges of the wrap. I take mine off in stages. Once it starts showing some green and gets a leaf or two take it off for an hour and put it back on. Next day do the same thing but for two hours etc. The little plants need to harden up gradually and get used to not having the covering. Its best to start it on the lights out cycle if you use that method.

well cuz it makes it humid and the humidity causes the sprout and seedling to grow faster and produce good root growth and all that

well that sounds like a good idea to me

Isee, a humidity dome. I've tried with and without and see no difference as long as humidity is reasonably high.

Yeah, sorry i had work last night till this morning, then school from this morning till now.

They are used as a humidity dome as whiterhyno said, And thanks, 5/6 seeds sprouted and look healthy

I would have thought that you would need to allow at least a little air in now and then. Wouldn't there be a chance that you might promote mold if you did not allow air in on occasion?
