Will she make it ?

Germinated then planted a week ago , she popped out of the ground the next day and started gaining a little height after another day or two I noticed it was having a hard time shedding its shell so I left it alone to see if she would shed it naturally for another day and she wouldn't ....so two days ago I very very ever so carefully helped her shed her shell but the cotyledons stayed up closed so once again I left it for a couple days till last night when I noticed she still had a piece of the membrane from the inside of the shell holding her cotyledons closed so once again I very ever so carefully pulled the membrane off and her cotyledons opened ! I still have her domed under a 6500k 26w cfl but her first two leaves look warped ...any opinions ??? Here's some pics it's a candy cane auto from crop king seeds ....thx

I would remove the dome so she can get some fresh air.Top growth is slow at this stage until they get some roots going so hang in there.

Thanks namvet ! Will remove dome once I get home and hang tight for now ! Cheers

give her time man, she might just work herself out of this.

Hey Cal- hmmm, after a week, and she's still boggin' along,... the crinkle-leaf thing can be caused by a few different things, often environmental, but on rare occasions, we see this weird malformation stay consistent on all the leaves,.. had a few myself last year, and it was genetic,...other homies had the same strain, and similar leaf issues.... none of then turned out to be good plants! So, it's up to you,.. wait for another couple sets form up, and watch how they fill out,... sometimes, there is a correction, but the lack of vigor is not a good sign,... we'll see!

Thanks for the 2cents guys ! I'm going to hang on and see what happens to her this week then if she doesn't show any signs of vigor I'll just say a couple our fathers and Hail Marys and burry her in the garbage can ! And start fresh ! Thx again brothers & sisters ! If anything changes for the good I will update this thread again ! One love ! Peace out

She might work her way out of it, but personally if I only had one plant and it was a seedling and it looked like that... I'd get to germinating another seed right away. I'd grow them side by side for a while then decide which (it not both) I would keep.
