I have a little sprout that has been standing like a ****** since Jan 9

Its just standing there with a football helmet on. How much longer would you wait before you tell her there’s no football here?

Yea, just a short white stalk and a helmet.

She just wanted to play football, Coach.

It breaks my heart to tell her she can’t play.

Ha seems like youre not too annoyed with it. Must have lotsa weed. Thats a good start.
If it happens again wet it and pick it off.

If it’s been that long and no improvement in over a month it’s time to put in a replacement player😃

Just need get the helmet off.
Its best to do it soon as possible and im surprised its made it this long, it has to be a strong little thing i imagine :sweat_smile:
Wet it down good and let it soften up, and very carefully remove it anyway you can, theres some videos on YouTube showing how to fix “helmet head” it ya want check them out first may help if it’s stuck on there good.

I just learned something else new - good day.

Part of the “helmet head” issue might be due to planting too shallow.

It doesn’t get drug off by the soil. Hmmm.

I had been misting it down, but sure enough. Soaked and soaked, flipped it off. It’s sleep time, I’ll give it two days of light now to see if it can survive.

Sounds like you are covered :+1: great community!

Going forward, I went ahead and edited the name of this thread. Please limit the use of offensive words/phrases, ilgm encourages “clean chat” for the most part :call_me_hand:t3: other than that have fun!

Hahaha. That’s the way older folks communicated Before words were offensive. I’m just here to have fun. Is there a way for me to delete this thread?

:laughing: no you are good, I get it, and I’m sure a lot of us would feel the same. Just an ILGM thing. They also like to leave threads open if possible, helps others find answers.

Hoping for a recovery! I hate when the shells get stuck like that.

Unfortunately the root and stem don’t need the leaves and most likely what’s in the shell has died, deformed or rotted

If the shell doesn’t come of within a couple days I manually detach it. You get pretty good at that as you do more grows and a fine pair of tweezers really comes in handy.

No Sir, I’m not good. I have this post with my screen name on it, but it has been manipulated. So those are not my words. I’m not comfortable being represented that way. And I’m not comfortable with your judgement of me. So I don’t want to be here. Going forward, I will go where I’m comfortable. I have many choices. Now PLEASE, delete my manipulated thread. Thank you.

Pretty dramatic. I changed a single word in the title because it was in violation. You’re acting like I re-wrote your post.

I can’t delete your thread, I will tag a couple mods.

@low was correct in editing your title. It’s not the opinion of all, but it is offense to some, and for good reason. No need to take it any further. Up to you @Oldbaldguy on how you want to proceed. I can close this post if you want, but I’d think we’re all mature enough to get past it and let it go :call_me_hand:t3:

Yea, no, Please and Thank You.

The only way I’m even allowed to respond here is with a heart emoji.

It’s all a bit too totalitarianistic for my tastes.

Thanks so much to the great guys who helped me.

Happy Trails.

Alot of us here are older so we know what you mean. If you are gone, sorry to see you leave such a great environment for canna culture. If you are not gone, awesome. Alot of us here love to share more than pot pics. I do not know what word was offending in your post title that was edited but if you are an older guy, then I know you know what respect truly means and vulgar words although may not be offensive to me personally, but some do.

Hope to see you floating around in the weeks months to come.
