im curious, how old are they? or how long have you had them, rather?

Well the last of the 3 straws was purchased in 2013, the other 2 are bought between 2011-2013 but I can't say for sure.
So they are between 13-15 years old by now.
After less than 48h after putting them in the peat cubes:
I opened the vents of the dome and they are under low wattage led's now.
Temps are 23-24°C and humidity around 88%. I will slowly bring the humidity down.
Not the first time I see this happening here. A seedling cracked itself in half trying emerge above ground.
Sad I lost one this way.

Update on the seedlings:
47/60 are above ground now. Looks like there are still a couple that could possibly come up.
3of them had and broken or injured stem, I put them a bit deeper and keep my
.
Temps are 21-22°C and RH is at 74%.
I'm still not sure if I like these peat cubes to germinate.
Some seedlings struggle with the more compact material and led to some difficulty in taking roots or a getting a good foot hold.
I put some seedling soil on top of exposed root on this one. I tried to reposition it yesterday because it was pushing itself out of the hole.
I looked much better today and I hope the extra soil will help it pull through.

Lotsa fun to grow such a large group and letting only the strongest to survive. They’re so sensitive when young, like a bunch of babies

I have just prepared the tent and filled up their pots Amoril, I will transplant them tomorrow.
Since some broke their root trying to come up I don't know exactly how many will make it.
I will see when I transplant them and let you know.

I have 47 seedlings transplanted, Light Mix with a small amount of Bat Guano (50ml/pot).
45 out 47 showed roots in the cubes, remarkable because I know that 2 had a damaged taproot and 1 a broken one.
The will to survive is there!
I try to put the stronger in the same pot and the weaker also to give them the best chances from the start.
This is what is left, pherhaps one more will come up.
I removed the shell when I saw some green in the hole.
@Amoril: With your method I have a 78% succes rate so far with seeds that are 13+ years old.
I'm happy.

Just back from a trip to Amsterdam with a good friend.
I was eager to see how the NH were doing and this was how I found them:
They will be soon topped and prepared for making new moms like I did with the NHM.
Every plant has shown good growth so the total number is 47.
One of them has topped itself and is already pushing new shoots.

The next step is to top them and leave only 2 nodes.
They will be vegged a bit longer until I see decent branches on all of them and then I will eliminate 2 branches so each plants has 2 left.
The goal is to keep the branches that are most uniform across the plants so I can compare them the best after flowering.
When the branches are big enough to make cuts I will make one of each plant and the branch that is left will be flowered.
I use the nicest branches for making the cuts as having each plant backed up is my priority.
The plants themselve will be feeded lightly and not pushed.
These pots allow the roots to stretch further and give better quality vs. small individual pots.
It is also easier to water and to keep them longer in better shape.
It has a downside to, you can't feed individuals.
When topping I experienced smells I did not have in MNS hazes before, very exotic like and only a couple smelled skunky/cheese.
I've seen very good vigour in some individuals also.
Excited!

Its been a good 2 weeks since I topped them and I had to prune the branches even more last week.
Every plant has 2 branches now as intended.
There are some very vigourous plants and some slow growers in the plants that I got.
I will make a cut of each plant this week and start to flower them.
Some quick pictures:
First signs of gender are revealing.
Some crazy branch patterns.
Jungle vibes.
Scents are still discreet, I will start to feed them lightly from now on.
