Was wondering if anyone can chime in on what's going on here? I really don't care if they make it or not at this point, but I do Need to know why? Is it just a bad seed(s)? Did I do something wrong?
They germinated, first day they cracked and showed a tiny little white nub near the crack. Then 4-5 days no growth at all. Then on the sixth day they had 1/2"-1" long tap root. Into Rockwool, heat mat, dome+tray, 78.8F (26C) 90%RH.
They get a few drops of water 2-3 times a day to help keep the shell moist and fall off, but to no avail. Her sibling in the same shot is seen with her seed STILL attached. Her first set of leaves were growing, and the seed was still stuck to the two cotyledon's and they were closed shut at the top.... I finally helped her get loose and she came through fine.
One on the left broke through RW and has been stuck like that for the past 7 days, I have just left it alone, only watering it. One on right grew tall, but the seed was stuck on... almost coming off. I helped the one side off and that is what remained. Also just watering it, nothing else. PH5.7 water.
^[mini-update, in the last day, the right seedling's stem (with the stuck seed) started to shrivel up a little bit near the top. She did NOT dry out, she was kept moist the entire time...?]
^(yes there was a third sibling. Her taproot showed, she was put into the rock wool, she simple never grew at all.)
