That’s the million dollar question. Do you have the patience to wait for the answer? I doubt it.

Well i just emptied out the cups where the plants didnt pop out to see and they all didnt have shells on them so i replanted them a to where the leafs would pop out the ground and the tap root would be going into the soil will this work

Just walk away... let the plant grow. You can’t do much to help, you can only keep hurting.
Impatience leading to “over-love” is probably the number one killer of first grows.
Who can possibly answer that? You are going to have a tough time if you can’t learn to walk away.

Sometimes if im impatient ill barely sow the seeds and when the seed is still attached when it pops i remove the husk with tweezers and have membrane leaves few hours latter. I've gotten sprouts in less than 2-3 days this way. So long as its developed enough to remove the husk

It probably has a better chance if it you leave it alone. Honestly. You’re causing it stress for absolutely no reason other than being impatient.

Ok i will definitely leave it alone at this point i just wanted to make sure that i had not just invested a bunch of money on lights for bag seeds that wont grow so i got impatient looked threw the soil

Just for the future, some perspective: even if the bag seed didn’t grow, your money spent on the lights wouldn’t have been any more (or less) wasted. It’s what’s called a sunk cost. The only thing you could have potentially done by digging at already planted seeds is harm them.
In decision making, in general, if the “best” outcome is only neutral (you find they are growing and you didn’t fuck em up), and the worst outcome is real negative (killing a bunch of viable seedlings), don’t do it.

Alright but if the taproot is still intact after replacing it into the soil will it keep growing even if it got taken out for 2 seconds ?

Probably, as long as you didn’t break it

Just a heads up, this may have worked for you, but you stand a not-insignificant change of damaging the seedling doing this, or more commonly, not completely removing the membrane which never allows the cotyledon to open.
I’ve done it, but I’ve wished I hadn’t about twice.

Yes i realize how dumb i was to do this but the taproot wasn’t damaged whats so ever and so i just want to know if this grow will actually grow now or if i just ruined them
This grow is going to be one wild ride.
