Question about seedlings

hey guys. So most of the seedlings came up fine, a couple I'm not sure about. The shell of the seed is still stuck on pretty good. I don't know if it's a huge deal or if the plant will shed it on its own. I'll try posting a close up. I have a few like this. I have very steady hands and small tweasers. Should I try to operate or just let them do the work. Any advice would be great thanks. image.jpegimage.jpeg

A drop of water, or spraying it, will usually soften the dry shell and allow the plant to shed it. It almost always does it on it's own. Patience through this first step as you can damage the plant by trying to remove it yourself.

So almost all went fine, one just didn't take root. One wouldn't shed the shell so I removed it but it was too late. The cotyledons were rotted from the moisture. I got rid of as much of the rotted part as I could and noticed green under it. Looks like it's still trying to grow... Going to let it try just to see what happens image.jpegimage.jpg

So even after having the top rot away it's still growing. Pretty amazing. Thought you guys might want to see it lolimage.jpeg
