After reading up.
Seems my problems are between damping off.
And possibly not pre soaking my soil before hand.
Looks like ,maybe 4 ladies are running strong as possible.
The others may be rip.
Barely shed the shell then no movement
2 are hunched over, all bad.
So I might germ some other autos so it can run the same time with these pineapples that are alive.
Using jiffy pellets this time around.
And pre soaking the soil this time around.

If your seedlings are struggling to shed their shells you can gently pry the shells with some tweezers.. I'm a new grower myself and have had 100% success rate so far by soaking Rockwool in water. Make a hole about 5 or 6 mm down drop the seed cover and leave in a warm dark place, 8 out of 8 sprouted a variety of strains and a mix of autos and photos.

Thanks for the advice!
 
I got a 100% germ rate with glass of water to napkin
Then when I had white tails I went to my pre soaked rockwool.
Maybe my temps were off and high humidity for the first day or so did some damage?
But I think what really hurt is just throwing the soil I'm the pot then throwin rockwool seedling in after.
Did nothing with soil before hand.
I'm trying jiffy pellets just to be experimenting to find out what I like best.
I'm soaking 4 autos
Auto somango, auto cheese, super auto matic, and auto jack herrer.
These are all free samples, and will hopefully replace the 3, or 4 dying Pineapple Express seedlings.
So I can feel up my grow space all together.
Then again reading up it may have just been the seedling it self.
Nothing to do with the environment, just a weakling not ready for the world.
Ill update pix on the pineapple shortly. For the girls that look good, they look awesome.
As for the hunched over dying ones they have a powerful white root sticking at the bottom of the rw cube. I just. Don't understand it. I just think its how the game goes sometimes.
Good news is I got my temps. Fan, humidity, all controlled and on lock.
Running 20/4 seems to helped as well.

I've had only one not germ out of 15 with the same technique. The seed looked pitiful when I stuffed it in so I didn't have much hope for it anyway. I'm a believer in germing with rockwool cubes. I did forget to take the grey lining off on the first 6 after planting. Rookie mistake.

Haha that's what first grows are for. I officially yanked 4 dead. Dead dried up roots. I'm germing now 4 others. If my pellets aernt here in time, I dunno might go straight to soil, or go rockwool again haven't decided.
 
Update!

For the baby's that are alive they are starting to flourish.
The leaves are growing out and look wider.
Here's pix of the replacements.
Temps are good, rockwools staying moist. I think I got a grovove.
Fans running on low, temps are never too high nor humidity.
