So about two day ago I germinated some black domina x of Kush seeds I have one fully sprouted and the other is well growing in reverse the taproot is still in the Shell while the coytolydan (sorry I can't spell) is growing now. Is it possible for the plant to grow inside it's shell like that. And if not should I be concerned that it won't sprout right please help first time grower

next time scuff the seed with some sand paper. But the shell should be soaked enough for you to remove it. She most likley will in since it turns to like slime. Ive had seeds stay on the plant on a leaf for a good period. It crippled the leaf but it was cool to see.

Get 2 toothpicks and gently seperate the 2 seed-covering halves. Avoid squeezing or otherwise stessing the seedling.

It takes me 3 days before my beans-in-a-baggie have sprouted enough for me to put them in dirt. Once I figured that out
I thought I could get by by just waiting 3 days then prepare for the transplanting process. Once in a while I would find a
seedling growing in some pretzel-like shape that made a successful TP dicey. Some made it, a number didn't. It occured to me
(after losing a $20 seed) that maybe I could interrupt the plants attempted suicide. So now I check on the baggie after 2 days
to check for anomalies. Occassionally I find a just-sprouted bean starting to twist or corkscrew into an undesirable shape and
I intervene. I've used a tiny slice from a kitchen sponge (sterilized, new is better) as a shim or spacer and jam it in between
the root tip and the seed covers. Then I cover it back up, re-moisten if necessary and prepare to TP the next day. So far of 3-4
interventions I saved all but one.
