Popped four seeds, one had a long tap root while the other three just barely popped.
The long tap root seed and one other broke the surface the first day with the shell stuck to them.
The other two had the shell stuck to them below the surface so I removed the top layer of coco and removed the shell.
Those two looked noticeably weaker with bent stems and tiny pale codyledons just laying on the ground.
Little by little they started catching up to the stronger seedlings until they had the same amount of growth.
It's week 2 and I can't tell the difference between them apart from the stems.
How can this happen? The first few days they were so weak then all the sudden they started getting exactly like the stronger ones.
Only difference is the one that had the long tap root is a bit more compact with a straight stem. Has anyone had any experiences like this and know why it happens? Thanks
