Does anything look wrong with my sprout?

If you take a look at the photos you can see that the shell is almost off but the leaf looks trapped? The stem is also a bit brown. Not sure if this is all completely normal and I’m just a worry rat or if there is something I need to do. It’s my first grow and I’m nervous about any little change she makes



Give her time to do her thing.

Got it got it! Idk how the OG growers do it if I don’t check on her every hour I feel like I’ll miss something important haha. I’ll be less concerned parenty :joy:

If the membrane from the seed casing does not end up coming off you can put a drop of water on it to soften it and carefully slide it off with tweezers. One of mine was stuck on for 2 days and I ended up having to remove it.

My very first plant did this. After 3 days, it was totally stuck to the cotyledons and I ended up having to snip it as carefully as possible, between the leaves. Hopefully you can just put a drop of water and it pops right out, or the tweezers work. Good luck and happy growing!

Thanks guys, I’ll keep an eye on her the next few days and hopefully the shell drops!

Yeah I’d wet it and pull that membrane off that’s holding the leaves together very carefully.

I’d do it soon if I were you. You don’t want it stuck shut for 2 long.

I’ll do it at the end of the day cycle tonight or maybe tomorrow depending on how tough it feels to remove. I’ve read that droplets can cause burns as the water droplets could act like magnifying glasses under the light.

You’ll be fine as you are removing the piece you will be wetting.

I had several so this last week.
Leaf tips seem stuck togather…that helment will be fine but I had to mist it a few times over a day and they finally spring loose.
They seem dry on the tips.
Worked for me anyway!
GL!

A little water and some careful tweezing and she’s free! Thanks everyone! Now the journey truly begins
