Seedling in Trouble

Alien_Beelzebudstarted grow question 4 years ago

I have a seedling that is alive but has not popped its cotelydon leaves open yet. It almost looks like part of the seed might be stuck and holding it back. As it stands now, I'm thinking I should just leave it alone and give it a chance to finish the job. Recommendations?

Use your fingernail or tweezers to remove it. It will come off with little resistance. Just make sure you don't tear the roots by doing it, she's very fragile right now, can't be yanking her outta the ground.

If it only just broke through the soil, you can give it a day to see if it sorts itself out. Otherwise you can provide a helping hand by very gently removing the seed casing. Hope that answers your question. Happy growing!

that is a quite common issue, the seed shell remaining stuck. You need to VERY CAREFULLY remove it without damaging the baby leaves.

Should I continue with defoliation ?Hey guys, I wanted to get your opinion on further defoliation. I don't have much experience in growing, especially in defoliation, lst and other techniques. Should I continue with a light defoliation only to uncover the bud spots. All opinions are welcome. Thanks!

If this was yours, how would you proceed?Going into week 6. I just clipped the bad leaves that show in the picture and will be switching to the growing stage. I plan to do the 36 hours of darkness first. Already changed the water and it has the bloom solution instead of the grow solution. What would you do now?

When to start flushing?How do you guys think, how long these plants might need to finish? Reason I'm asking is that I'm planning at least 10 day flush before harvest and because I lack of experience in growing (there were maybe 2 grows I went through) I don't really know when to start. Any ideas? :)
