Hey there Growforshow, yeah first off about the seed shells, it's no major , but basically you can take something like a pincer and carefully pull them off no problem. One thing I am seeing though is a stretch, you dont really want that kind of stretch, it can lead to issues later on like the plant falling over. Try putting your lamps closer, as in quite close with your kinds of leds you might be okay with them being 6 to 8 inches away max. when you repot them go ahead and plant them quite deep to compensate for the stretch. Hope this helps growmie ! 🚀

To add to it... The shell on the tip of the baby leaf in the pic that has a small true leaves forming above it... that can be plucked. If you damage the first leaf in the process, it's not gonna kill the plant. The others look pretty tight and would likely damage the true leaves if you tried prying them off manually. You can gauge it and maybe use tweezers to pry the shell open more.

I agree with BeautifulCraftRreddit ... moisture is the solution. I've had this happen a time or 2 and it was because the humidity was too low overall for the shell to be moist enough to come off cleanly. Mist it or put a baggie over the cups to create a "greenhouse" type of thing to trap the humidity inside the bag surrounding the shell.

so you can try misting them with some water or if your feeling confident you can try to light touch them to knock them off. ive seen a lot do this but will grow out of it, make sure your humidity is in a good range too, that will make it easier for them cause it wont be so dry

My Girl's Gone Rogue with 10cm of Frosty Goodness!My lady decided to shatter the whole "week 10 harvest" and instead shoot 10cm, packing new flowers whiter than a yeti's behind in a blizzard!
This genetic curveball beats me.
Do I let her keep this frosty stretch, or do I harvest and let this mutant masterpiece become a solo act

Day 49 autoflower huge and not yet flowering. Help!Day 49 autoflower not flowering? She's huge and I'm running out of room in the tent (58" and my tent is only 6 ft). Should I flip the tent to 12/12? Do I then keep it 12/12 the rest of the grow? How will that affect the Day 30 plant? Should I add 2nd light for smaller plant?

¿Por qué no se desarrollan lateralmente?Tengo algunas teorías:
1) Exceso de riego (por problemas varios, he tenido que regar 1 vez por semana en gran cantidad (demasiado)
2) Estres por movimiento (debido a tormentas y otras razones, muevo las plantas de ubicación varias veces por semana
3) Exceso de fertilizantes?

Why dont my plants grow towards the middle/light and instead concentrate near the walls?Looks like my plants are growing towards the wall and not towards the middle where the light should be the best.
Why do the plants behave like that and what should I do?
Raise the net, rotate some of the plants, then redo the net?
Remove the net completely?
leave it as it is?

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).
