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.

Seedling Height? See diary entries for a better idea.I couldn't find any real answers on this one. How tall should an autoflower sprout be? My Gelat.OG Auto is 2 days old and over 5" tall. I know it's a light issue, but how tall should I expect to see? You know, a reference point of sorts. Thanks!Setup. Seedling

Abstand der Lampe zum KeimenHey Grower
Ich stehe kurz vor meinem 3 Run und schaffe es bisher nicht das Spargeln zu umgehen. Ich habe eine 150 Watt LED.
Beim ersten Mal hatte ich zum Keimen bzw. beim Sämlingsstatus 1 M Abstand und beim 2 Run 75 cm. Wie tief kann oder soll ich die Lampe setzen ? DankeschönSetup. Seedling

Hi all, first time grower. I've just put my seeds into jiffy pellets. How's everything looking?
I have some of my wife's plants in the tent as well right now. I'm thinking of going 60% at around 24 inches for the first few weeks with this mixed bag. Thoughts?Setup. Seedling

Curling Cotyledons? 2 day old seedlings.I have seedlings in jiffy pellets and am concerned as the cotyledons are curling downwards. I suspect the pellets are too wet right now and am letting them dry out a bit before watering again. I am following AC Infinity's lighting schedule with 100% light 18/6 @ 36 inches.Setup. Seedling

Growing autos in coir potsI am germinating two more Fast Buds seeds. About to finish soaking them. Someone said that it's not recommended to transplant autos. How about those small coir pots? Roots are supposed to grow right through them.
Has anyone had any success growing in them?Setup. Seedling
