It’s likely just pushed the seed shell out of the top with the new growth. Confirm that there is a tap root growing down into the rockwool - if so you’re all good. It should shed the shell soon

Should be fine. If it poked out then below the surface there will be enough root to survive. Plants determine root/stem based on light so its not a big deal.

Seedling tore its cotyledon off while sprouting One of my seedlings tore one of its cotyledon off emerging from the rockwool cube. It left the leaf and half of its seed shell in the cube. Is this common or did I make a mistake planting it in the cube? Maybe too tight or too deep?

My Cherry Grapefruit has developed a decently sized tap root but it's taking her FOREVER to break through the root cube. Do you guy's think I should give up on her? She's already a week behind my other 3 plants and I'm already limited by a pretty small grow space. Thanks!

Is this a root or the upper part of the plant ?I made the germination in a rockwell cube, nothing happened on the top, but hopefully something is growing on the botton. Is this a root or the upper part of the plant ? And it's normal to see the root before the plant ? Thx J

What is Day 1?Can some of you tell me what you consider day 1? Tap sprout, breaking soil/medium, etc? One of those things that deserve standardization of sorts, right?

Why did the root get tangled in rockwool cube?What do you think caused the taproot to get tangled in the rockwool cube like that? Is it just because it wasn't wet enough (i.e., I didn't soak the cube)?
