Hello this is my first grow been reading all sorts of stuff hard to understand what’s true and what’s not.
I’m hoping I found the right community to join thanks for your help.
Picture as follows
Got 6 seeds sprouted using paper towel
The seedlings are about 3 days old
Holding temperature at about 23c humidity at about 70% misting with water about once a day should I wet the whole medium by the stem or around the edge ?
How long should I keep them covered?
When should I feed ?
I’ll also send pick of soil I started in.

Welcome to the site. If they are touching the dome I’d remove the dome. You don’t want to damage those little leaves. As @fano_man your soil looks wet, let it dry out more the plants don’t like wet feet all the time. You have some stretching going on. You may want to lower the light, support the stems and get a very light breeze going to help strengthen them up.

Tomorrow I’ll take the cover off have the lights at 5 inc guess I’ll drop it to 3 inc or use my spider farmer 4000 where should I keep the humidity at 65 ?

That is what I’d shoot for with humidity. You may want to keep light where it is, with the dome off the light will no longer be filtered by the plastic.
So we iv done that now I guess I should keep them like that until I get 3 leafs popping out oh water at 6.5 water around the edges every day or as needed should I wait till it has more leaves before turning on spider farmer sp4000
I guess going to feed nutrition staring the second week ?
The only water they should see until tap root is established is to mist the dome they are under. Once plant has developed a tap root you can transplant. No nutes until the first set of leaves (cotyledons) yellow. If in soil, no nutes at all! If in coco or Promix soilless, very low TDS once transplanted.
You are seeing some seedling stretch so if it were mine I’d lower lights a bit to manage the stem.
You can avoid PH’ing seedlings by simply using distilled or R/O water.
How often should the dome be watered?
When its see through and has no condensation re spray the dome sides it will keep humidity up and everything will stay moist not wet untill dome comes off
