deeunit1answered grow question 4 years ago Did a dozen 3wks ago and half were like this.Just don't put more than a couple of grains of coco on top.Due to putting the seed in the final big pot I use a 1 litre left over plastic bottle with the lid on for a few days and once I see the first true leaves take the top of for a couple of days before removing completely.Its the perfect environment and saves buying plastic conches at £5 each.I always soak my seeds in water.I didn't eve take the seeds out this time,just filled that little vile up with water for 24hrs.Half had broken the shell by the time I put them in paper.Is that a bit of shell on the tip of that root?Iv not seent hat before but wouldn't worry.Seeds are amazingly strong.They can sit there for years and a little moisture and bang.
