SEEDLING TROUBLE??? Please help

Looks good what are you worried about

im worried the seeds wont crack open the rest of the way for some reason. cause its been a day under lights like that. I dont know maybe im not being patient enough. but if i aint doing something right please tell me. or maybe the humitity is too low its at 40 now tho.is it ok too even have them under lights if theres no leafs yet.

Your big lights do nothing at this stage - just wait and the shell will fall off.
Everything looks fine - chill Brother.

ok ill chill lol thought i was doing something wrong thats all. im pretty much a newb here.

No worries - most new growers are like expecting fathers.

MY friend had the same exact thing with his seed and everything turned aout good

sometimes I have had to get a small tool like a glasses screwdriver or a exacto knife and very carefully take the shell off. This is only after about 4 days and i can still see the shell. You have to be very careful with it. happens to me about 1 out of ten seeds. But up to you it might just fall off.

I would try and get the humidity a little bit higher

It looks like you could've planted a little deeper. I would probably sprinkle a little bit of soil on top of the seed but probably will be fine w/out it. You may need to remove the shell once it stands up straight. Carefully pry apart the 2 sides where it is cracked and sometimes there is a small layer almost like a film that will hold the leaves together, just peel it away if you need to.

I would recommend a blow torch. Those shells are tough.

im a newbie here to so i maybe wrong..
looks like the seed could have been put in a further CM maybe but it should be fine although if it was me i would put a little bit more soil to make sure the root is deep enough, looking good though, happy growing

you could always try a 12# sledgehammer or a nutcracker It will be fine, my friend.

One Love.

thanks for the replies

Put some Saran wrap over the top of that pot. It will keep in humidity and soften that hard seed coat up making it easier to dry up and fall off

Looks good, just be patient.

thank you for all the responses. i think i will try and put a little more humitity in there. saran wrap sounds like a good idea, yea i think i was being paranoid lol. first real attemp here. + i woke up this morning and two of the eleven cracked open all the way. seeds still kinda hangin there. and i noticed the humitiy without the air on is perfect. its at 50 now. but when i run the ac in my bedroom it sucks all the moister out of the room. how do i make it more humid in the closet when ac is on in the bedroom.

Heres the update progress. They cracked pretty good

Plans: Ima set them babies under a 400mh for about a week or so. Then change bulbs and start 12/12.

nice...400W is alot for little guys like that dude....watch that they don't dry out or get burned ...okee dokee?

i would recommend using a cfl for start, no need to waste electricity on a 400mh for those. make sure that mh is atleast 3ft away id say, maybe more.

when u say Ima set them babies under a 400mh for about a week or so. Then change bulbs and start 12/12....so your saying your gonna flower them after they get 4 inches high?...lol..i dont get it...yes thats exactly what im reading. you need to veg them way longer than one week from where they are now. ...then next time around , start them with a cfl. 400w mh on those are a waste of money and light.
