Sanderoanswered grow question 3 years ago They are looking good! If you use the paper towel method to germinate, you will often have to very gently help them shed their shell. Usually the soil pulls off the shell and membrane, as is works it’s way up and out. So that is not unusual to have to help them out a little. I would also recommend getting them out of those paper pots. They are bad support, fall apart after awhile and seem to breed fungus and diseases faster then any other starting pot/cup. But all in all it’s looking good! May your plants be strong and flower smoke true! Good growing my friend!
