Is this normal and will solve by itself or can I do something to help my plant out ?

Also check out my grow journal where i will update nearly daily. .

The membrane of the shell is still over the cotyledons. Take a pair of fine scissors and carefully snip in between the cotes.

Yeah I agree also, this happens to me almost every single seed I germinate and I have to carefully pull that layer off with scissors or tweezers, sometimes it just slides right off

Yep! But carefully!! Sometimes a seedling will get ā€œhelmet headā€ or " membrane mouth"ā€¦ :wink: Ive had some just naturally shake it off and others may need helpā€¦just try not to pull on it!! It may come out of the medium.

Mist it or even a little spit will work, I usually wait for it to stand up straight before trying to remove the helmet. All good advice above as well :love_you_gesture:
