I've had to pry off shells and shit dozens of times, and it''s generally worth it. But in your case it doesn't look bad so even if you leave it it should be fine.

You can gently try pry it with like a needle (not the tip, the shaft), unless there is some of the seed cover shit stuck, then just pick it off with the tip.

No problem it's fine, sometimes they have trouble shedding the seed casing, you can try to gently easer it off but it would be fine if you leave it though

No la eches nada de agua, si necesitas conservar la humedad recorta los extremos de una botella de plástico y protege la planta con ella

Some of the clones are doing okay, some are doing not so well (drooping, etc) and a couple are wilting and dying. Any idea what may be causing the inconsistency/failures?Roots. Other
