What are the chances of this surviving?

Well I've previously posted a thread about 7 seeds that went garbage, 1 survived, 1 didnt hatch at all in like 5-6 days and even did 2 days of water, still nothing and 2 just died, 1 replanted, (not sure if it will pop up the soil) and 1 is in intensive care, the root snapped and it was dangling for days ive had to remove one side of the shell and the other half is still in there, soaked it in wet paper towel and some how the root twisted back into place so not sure if it has fused now.
What do you think here's a picture.

Does this seed have a volcano? or dip on one side like when it was attached to the beam..?

Plant directly in media, or go simple like peat pellets. I just popped a few ten year old bagseed last week, 100% success, all growing new leaf sets.

All you need is a seedling tray, maybe a heat mat, if you are below 75f-80f, a lid for the first week to hold humidity, and peat pellets soaked in tap water. I'm sure you know most of that, but I just want to be clear.

I'm a big fan of planting directly in the final soil container, straight into a five-gallon full of soil, less than an inch down. It isn't always practical, but it is the best to me.

Buy a big bag of seedy pot. Clean out all the seeds and put them in a pill bottle. Pick out the best of the seeds. {for every seed picked, place a new, crisp ten dollar bill in your grow kitty for buying supplies}

Place seed 1/4 inch deep in high quality potting soil with the pointy end down. Keep moist, but not soaked. Once it pops, leave it alone for the first week or so. For new growers planting in clear Solo cups {with a colored cup over it} is a good way to see how your roots are doing.

Now just practice, practice, practice.

Remember that reading is the proven number one method of improving yields.

I think you either plant that seed or it is dead from light toxicity. If you have the shakes you need to design your work area to brace your arms, I have some folks I help that shake badly. As I say though at least their nutrients are well blended. :)
