They will survive fam! As nobody said misting lightly helps the cotlydon leaves break free of the seed membrane that coats them. U can gently remove the shell as the leaves open it more. The number 1 cause of this is planting a seed to shallow. Next time try n plant ur seed a touch deeper. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

They will survive longer than the Oilers if there is a NHL playoff. 👍👍 From The White House.

most definitely.
first, give them time to push it mostly off at the least... if you see completely developed cotyledons - nice green and lush - the shell is likely propped nearly open and you can help it at that point so photosynthesis can begin. sometimes a little drop of water soaked in for a bit can make it more pliable too.
the leaves will continue to work it open... when it is incredibly easy to pull it off by the looks of it.. it's probably okay.
the negative impace of planting a seed so the taproot immediately goes down is a greater likelyhood of this happening. plant the crown horizontally, and it'll be a good lever for both upward and downward growth... plus, the shell is way ore likely to be ripped off by soil like it normally is.

Starting seedlings, which is the best route? Please help!Should I start my seedling right into the medium (Roots organic original potting soil which I have heard can be a little hot for seedlings) or should I start with Rock-wool first and then transfer the auto into the medium. Thank you!Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Starting photos indoors for June transplantWant to start photos on a 14/10 schedule in April to match the lights around June 1st. Can I grow my babies on a 14/10 indoor schedule or could that possibly induce early flowering? I would rather not slowly adjust down from 18 to 14 before Xplant as suggested otherwiseSetup. Lighting

Slow/stunted seedling, why?One seedling is stunted, why?
One of the seedlings is noticeably slower than the other, it’s leaves are curled under and there’s a brown spot on one of its Cotyledons.
The other seedling is being treated identically and seems to be thriving 😕 (last photo)5 years ago

Healthy Seedlings?Do these seedlings look relatively healthy? Anything I should monitor? Just trying to be extra careful since it's my 1st time and they're really fragile
They're 2 1/2 days, 2 days, 1 day, and freshly sprouted. Their size corresponds to their age, all growing at a similar rate.Week 1

Do I need to have my light turned on to start my germination!?Just wondering if I need to turn the light on in my tent whilst I germinate, I plan to soak in water then possibly transfer to a paper towel after or into my final pot, so in short does the light need to be on for the 3 day germination period?Setup.

Should I put the light on before sprouting or not?I'm most likely going to be transferring my autos from paper towel into my medium, I've heard some people say have the light on before they sprout and some who say after it's sprout, which is the best thing to do?Plant. Other

Stunted??? What to do?Does anyone think these guys are stunted? I am a beginner grower. They are day 14 from seed, under a Viparspectra 450 on veg mode 18hrs a day. Germination soil and perlite only. Should I bump up the lighting or re-pot them to a bigger pot with soil mix? Any ideas are welcomed.Week 3
