First Time Growing, GSC Auto

Hey @CoCayne, @@frags is right. 12 days without getting direct light is not a good start as the first two weeks are crucial to the growth and size of the plants. I'm sure that she will respond great anyway but that's the best way to stress them out and relly influence on the yield, next time be more careful! ;) Enjoy Growing Faster

Hey you need to help her for take off this seed shell! 2 weeks past, she cant grow like that

Slow and gently take of this shell like hat on her, and you will see how she grow in next few days

In the future, misting (or otherwise wetting) the seed hulls seems to help a lot; so do germing methods that involve keeping the seed hull wet instead of just moist. Be careful! If they are weak in this stage they are vulnerable to something -- fungus i think -- that will eat at their main stem in a way they cannot afford, weakening it and stunting them permanently or killing them outright. Watch air temp and humidity.... also make sure you dont leave the soil soaked completely; during seedling time i water far away from plant to make the roots travel and make sure the top parts of the roots are dry and breathing (they need air too). Everyone's gotta start somewhere, you got this! I will be following your profile as well as this diary to see how things go!

Any news @CoCayne ?

I got it removed and she looks not so great, which is understandable I feel so bad, but thank you for helping! Do you think she'll be okay? I uploaded the photo with the shell off
