Dark or light for sprouts planted?

Hi everyone,
My seeds have sprouted and I am ready to put them in soil.
Once in the soil do I fire up the grow light or keep them in the dark?
Or by a window?
Thanks for your help.

Once they break the soil, they should have at least 16 hours of light a day.

Before that it doesn’t much matter, I leave the light on so that as soon as they are out they have light.

Got it! Thanks for the info.

Same here, leave them in light so they will have light as soon as they pop.

I leave light on them so it’s there when they pop up, but also to help keep the soil slightly warmer.
