Is it okay? @StonedCold13? The stem is sturdy drinking a lot of water for its size… and healthy color for the most part I’m confused why it’s not opening doesn’t look like the membrane is still there but I still can’t tell

The membrane seems to still be there from the texture we see from this picture. I would try to scratch it or cut it open with a very sharp knife. You’ll see right away if it’s still stuck in the membrane. :nerd_face:

She’ll probably grow. I tore the cotyledon s off of one and it still grew.

She will probably recover fine. Looks a tad leggy and I’m not sure if it’s from not opening and getting light :person_shrugging:t2:
Keep a close :eyes: on it :green_heart::metal:t2:

Thanks for response… she got to be strong the way she drank and still grew rigorously as if all was well I was stumped …nice confidence boost but also heightened alertness to know I’ve just avoided my first mini crisis or worse major casualty… thank you guys💪

I may have done a lot worse to some of mine… She should recover just fine, imo… :wink: :wink:

Mist those cotyledons and they’ll open up :love_you_gesture:

If it’s a photo, she should recover just fine. If she’s an auto, there is a chance she will be a stunted, at least a little bit.

Moisten the “helmet Head” and gently scrape the covering holding those leaves together. Good use of dome. Mist the dome, not the soil or seedling.
