Hey everyone. I’m glad to be part of this community. I’m new to growing and have some questions to ask. I successfully germinated my seeds, and moved them into a solo cup to start growing them more. I noticed my stems are bent and the leaves have not opened yet. I’m not sure if my plants are too young and I’m impatient, or if I did something wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.
Hey guys! I’m new at growing and new to this group. I could really use some help!

It appears that the membrane inside the seed shell is attached to the cotyledons, preventing them from opening.
Mist them with water to soften the membrane and it should come off with a little gentle help with a toothpick.

thank you very much. I’m going to try this out now
thank you so much! This experience is going to teach me a whole mew level of patience ahaha
thank you, I’m happy to be here. I wanted to use regular red solo cups but unfortunately I live in a college town so they are always sold out. Dang kids playing beer pong lol

Seems to be growing really slow. This is what mine looked like at germination.
This is because I used a BLUE solo cup. Remember this.
Also, make sure your solo cups have plenty of drainage holes in and near the bottom.
