New Grower Seedling problem

[Albert Eimstoned]

I've gotten the humidity between 60-80%. The seedling with a helmet still hasn't shed the shell even though I've misted it regularly. Should I forsake it? I'm out of auto seeds so I'd be planting a Barney's Blue Cheese photo in it's place to veg while the other Think Different does it's thing.

Anyone? Should I scrap it or keep waiting?

you can try to get the seed shell off very carefully, maybe some tweezers

Ok done. I'll report back on whether it not it grows.

I got the shell off of the cotyledon. I wet the shell for a while to soften it up and then I slowly picked at it. If you don't have a very precise steady hand, Id ask a girl to do it. You made need 2 sets of tweezers, or a razor to carefully split the shell more. Good Luck

I got it off no problem. Time will tell if it expands and lives. It's green so that's a good sign.

It worked! The seedling is quite a bit behind but it should pull through.
