I usually wait for a while to open until I have a fair amount of germination. The closed top helps hold humidity and encourage seeds to sprout. After there are a good many sprouts, I pop the top.

I'm not sure what you mean about the difference between "sprouts" and "greenery"? By sprouts do you mean radical emergence? seed leaves?

Here's spring of 2008. Sprouts are opened, unsprouted jugs still closed.
