Trouble?
Looks like my seedling have problems ridding its shell. I have three in total with this problem. Leave it? Do something?

Here the others, last one is fine but I started germinating them at the same time.

"Micro surgery" The ones with the leaves stuck together.
Gotta get that membrane off. Once the cotyledon can open up, the shell will fall off, if it hasn't already.

Careful with those, sometimes if you dont do anything they will cut the Cotyledon leave off against the edges of the seed pods. If they stay like that for a day I usually use a couple of tooth picks to pry them apart and sometimes if your not careful taking the seed pod off that will cut the Cotyledon. You need a hymidity dome over your seeds and then you probably wont have that problem

Thanks I will perform some surgery right away!
I am using a dome, maybe it is because the seeds are very old?

Do you have a heat mat under there? The walls of the dome are usually wet I would close the vent for now and that will boost the humidity. I usually soak my old seeds for a coouple of days and if they dont open I may scarf them abd then and then drop the in a rapid rooter. If I dont see signs of life after 3 days I toss them.
I love how the one on the cover is sticking its tonge out at you. LOL

I discarded the dome last night after I finally managed to get a humidifier running via a SHT-2000. Its only going so so with seedlings, one is doing great. The one sticking its tongue out at me looks like it is growing, I tried to carefully help it along with a tweezer but not much happened. The two others I am doubtful will make it, but we will see. Next week I should get new seeds and those are the ones I actually want to grow. Hopefully they will be more responsive than these ones.
