Weird looking seed

How long has the seed looked like that?

Looks like it's going fine just wait a few days until its an inch or so before you plant

Hi dear fella, in my humble opinion the seed needs a day or two more to get rid of the outer shell. I personally experienced longer germination times, either because I put the seed from the refrigerator straight to the germination paper or I received older seeds. From what I know each seed may need different time to germinate depending on it's age etc. factors. If you're not in a hurry I'd leave it a bit longer in the same dark, warm and moist place where it was put originally for few more days. Looking at it a couple of time in the beginning and the end of each day will give you a good hint when it's ready. Good luck and happy growing!
