Should the stem be white?

Should a newly sprouted plant have a whitish stem always thought it'll be green does it have a problem or will it be ok? Thanks

Don't worry too much, give it a few days and it will green up.

New born seeds need to "harden off" this is padt of the process, looks like youve got yourself a healthy seedling. If the helmet doesnt fall off by tomorrow id drop a little water on it then peel it away but thats just me. Others will let them fall natural.

It is fine, just wait some time.

I've tried that soak and peel method and almost everytime lost the seed cause the cotes got ripped off. My favorite way to deal with helmets is to bury the plant again.

Huh, works just fine for me, let the seed absorb the water for a couple mins usually they slide right off for me. Im also pretty gentle when i do it, never lost one this way.

Yeah, its supposed to work. course I've had experience starting 50+ seeds multiple times with the same seeds (I started with 650+ seeds), and the seeds Ive been working with sometimes has helmets that need to be sprayed repeatedly for couple days before they'll soften. So I just bury em as soon as I see the seedcase poking out of my medium. Haven't lost a single seedling to being buried either.

Thanks for the replies it's turned green now just one thing though, it only has one cotyelodon leaf? Would this affect it in anyway aren't there supposed to be two?

it's just a seedling man.

Leave it alone, let it grow a bit before trying to find issues

Did you rip the helmet off? That's likely why you have one coteyldon. Just means it'll be hungry sooner and need ever so slightly more trace minerals.

I did but the helmet was on the only leaf that were there, fuck knows where the other one went, thanks
