Sprout with seed cover
QueenOfTheKindstarted grow question 5y ago
When they sprout with the seed cover still on, is it better to leave them alone to outgrow it or help them by trying to pull it off? How many days until you should start worrying or taking action? Thanks!

Hey there if itās been a few days already , itās better to take it off , sometimes if the plant canāt do it by itself the seed shell will choke the plant and it could die. Hope this helps ! š

Why did my seedlings all die?My seedlings all died. This is the second time. What am I doing wrong? They germinate, I plant them in Promix HP soil, they pop up in a few days. I move them to the tent. Most of them never even lose their seed caps before they die, but a couple get real leaves first.Plant. Other

Avoiding dumping offHi guys! It's been a while! I'm trying to get back in the game, but I got a HUGE problem: I lose all my seeds to dumping off. I've tried different substrates, different sizes of pots, different weather, to no luck. Is there a fungicide I can use? (Continue)Germination. Other
