Take it off but take care.2cm is too deep.It wants to be about half a cm.The same size as the seed.Next time wait until they break the shell then plant straight away.I'd put an empty 1ltr bottle over it without the lid for around a week then remove.It creates the perfect environment.

Gently remove it with your fingers/nails. Happened to me on my current grow. If there's skin under shell, remove it as well.

take tweezers or needle and try to remove manually, try to moisture it before, 30 min approx and keep some plastic cup on it to make softer 🤓

Looking at the photos, you have nothing to worry about, the seedling seems to be shedding quite fine, actually almost looks off, 24 hours isn't long enough, give it more time it will come off.

Is growth normally this slow for seedlings? Any advice appreciated.These 3 seeds (of 12) germinated March 19-21; I transferred them to coco coir/perlite soil under 40W full-spectrum grow lights I also use for garden vegetable seedlings. Lights are on 16 hours; off 8 hours, and the seedlings have barely grown in the last 10 days. Is this normal?
