They don’t want to leave the neat

What do I do here? The newborns are bringing their shell with them.

@T-ray Spray it with a bit of water. Wait a few minutes and use a pin or something to gently flip the shell off the cots.
Make sure the seed lining comes off too.
Things should progress normally after they are off and the leaves can open up.

@Oldguy Dude I got shaky hands so I better burn one before I try surgery haha.

Thanks

Lower your light or increase the intensity Growmie, the seedlings are stretching

[T-ray]

@OGIncognito thanks bro - that’s the advice this nuub needs

Anytime Grow Bro, you can brace her up with a wire stake and bury her up to just below the cotyledons at transplant

Appreciate @OGIncognito

Yeah, you’ll have to pry it off, and just for future, when you plant the seed, try planting just a little deeper as the dirt helps pull the seed casing off as it pushes through the dirt.

@Dexterado Thanks. Yea, these were only about 3/4” deep with the tap root pointing toward the bottom.

[Dexterado]

3/4” is deep enough. Sometimes they just don’t pull themselves off.
