Because HBBS took so long to germinate, I decided to germinate another. Within 24 hours of germinating the new seed, HBBS cracked and grew a tail so I decided to plant it. Is the new seed still usable given it's cracked (no tail yet)?

What kind of pest is this?The pictures of leaves show the symptoms and the microscope pics are of what I believe to be the culprit, suspended in scotch tape for ease of view. With the naked eye they looked like little black spots and they bunched up right below the affected spots.
