It did have helmet head for a day. Helped get it off but did not damage the leaves. If the plant was standing straight up I wouldn’t be so worried but it’s got a curve to it. I’m hoping it straightens up. The leaves were very yellow when I pulled the seed off. They have gotten greener so that’s a good thing anyway

Genetics or cold temps. But I wouldn't stress about it at this early stage. I always found seedlings like temps of 75-80F in the root zone for the first couple weeks. But this was in rapid rooters. I can't imagine it would be any different

I wouldn't worry much, it just popped. It should straighten itself out. What type of medium are you using?

I’m using roots organic soil, I have it in a humidity dome on a seedling starter heat mat. It stretched a little Since last night but still didn’t straighten up yet.

This is completely normal.

This is a very normal thing.

Ignore and don'y worry about it.....
Someone told me the roots have to get stable me then it will stand straight up
Should I take it out of the dome?

Let it stay there for about a week or 2....Then out.
I never use domes for seedlings. Dampening off comes to mind.

Don't know if you're looking for advice but the one next to it is really stretching. Drop your light and bury that stem when you transplant. Sorry if that's redundant.

Also, your mature plant is pushing overfed.

Yea sadly I knew that already. The mature plant is my first DWC and it’s a learning experience. I’m gonna transplant the seedlings today. My veg closet is all to hell lol
