It's contamination on the towel. From the paper being to wet. Pink mold spores. Seeds will be fine.

Hey guys, my GSC seedling is about a week old. She had some problems getting rid of her seed head, and I managed to fully remove the seed coating and membrane just over 24hrs ago. Is she a write-off? It’s not looking too good

Hello. This is my first time trying to grow marijuana. After checking the main root with the paper towel method, I buried it with tweezers about 8 mm deep in coco medium. Right now I'm using very little fertilizer and just watering with pH adjusted. The light is 30 cm at 25% power. I'm going to wait a bit until it sprouts from this condition. I am worried if there are any problems witHello. This is my first time trying to grow marijuana.

Seedling died after not being able to open seed shell.
Anyone have advice on seeds that can’t kick their shells after germination? I wanted to try to help split them open with tweezers but didn’t want to harm the baby seedling inside.

Seeds dried out during germination?
If your paper towel is dry for a few hours while the seeds are germinating and they’ve just cracked is this bad? Will they bounce back? I watered them straight away when I saw that the paper towel was dry.
