1st. seems to me that maybe its to hot on roof for them, or the soil is too rich in nutes for a young plant. 2nd. your not supposed to put them under light until they break the soil surface. your germinating them correctly, so next time try placing the seed root tip down bout 1/4" in soil, then cover the seed w/ soil (dont compact the soil), make sure soil is moist, not soaking, then cover the cups w/ surran wrap w/ rubber band & poke a few tiny holes in wrap & place in a dark warm place till it sprouts, then remove wrap & put under some cfl's until they are strong, then try putting them where u want. i bet the roof is to hot.
