My babies have risen

So I planted some lophs in mid July And about a couple weeks ago they started sprouting 25 in total Although a few pop up ever couple days
Some of them are lying down, I propped them up with the surrounding soil.
Is the Saran Wrap layer overkill? Should I remove it or leave it? It has done me good so far but is a pain in the but when I mist them

they will need the humidity at least for a couple months if not longer, in which case you can slowly taper them off

Next time try those buffet trays with the lids They hold humidity well. Saran wrap was what I started with in my beginning days in 2006. It's a real pain in the ass. Keep reading and learning and you will do well.

Your soil looks too dry to my liking. Seedlings will straighten up by themselves if properly rooted (occasionaly a seed sends the root the wrong way and needs to be buried properly, but I don't see it in your tray). I would also suggest some more light (carefully and slowly!), for Lophophora seedlings are usually rounder and yours seem to be stretching a bit.
Other than that, good job.

Yeah,more light and more humidity for sure I would mist them daily since you have no dome.
