Alright, so this is my second grow. This year I am going outdoors, but I am starting indoor. (it has been about 3 years since my last grow, due to some "geographical" circumstances).
I have never had this occur before, so I thought maybe I would ask someone. I consider myself a noob, since I have only grown 7 plants before (all successful), but it was only the one time.
My first seedlings came out nice. I germinated them, transplanted to soil, they popped up nice and green after a day or two. However, yesterday, I noticed something odd with most recent one.
If you look at the pics for comparison, one is of a normal seedling, and the second is my "OMGZ WTF?!!!" seedling haha.
As you can see, the husk/shell of the seed has not come off, and it is breaking through with it attached...
Should I intervene, and remove the husk? or should I allow nature to do it for me, and allow the plant to do it on its own?
I don't want to damage/weaken the plant, but don't want it to die either.
Any help would be appreciated, especially if anyone has had this occur before! Thanks!
PS got a new camera, so hopefully you can get some good details via the photos
(I feel proud lol).
PS One more question.
I noticed one of my seedlings won't sprout. I carefully dug around it with the tip of a spoon in the soil, and found it had not grown any since I put it in after germinating. I have a feeling the soil was much too moist (I added some water before).
The root was there, so I gently took it out, and put it on a lid, then I threw out all the soil, and put new soil in the pot.
Do you think the seed has a chance at recovery, and it will get going again? It germinated perfectly well before it was put in the soil. The other ones did as well. This one just didn't pop up and remained in a frozen growth state.
Anyone?
