so last night i was worried about how they looked and then about 4 hours later 2 of the seedlings were standing up:D

the problem is, im not sure if one of them wan get out of its shell. i read about some seedlings needing help to split the seed. i tried to gently split the shell and its on there like a rock! {edit: i killed it trying to get the shell off}


i realy only want to grow one plant so im happy enough that one looks healthy. the tap root is coming out the bottom of the rr plug already!

When you have a seedling that does not drop the shell, wet the shell every 3 hours or so with a drop of water to help soften it. The leaves opening will generally take care of shedding the shell if it is kept soft. Do not attempt to take it off with your fingers.

I would recommend growing more than 1 plant...what happens if it is a male?
 
Or you can buy my special shell removal tweezers. They are encrusted with zircons! Only $98.95 a pair at any good growshop.
 
I germ with white paper towel and zip lock bag 100% every time.
 
Everything Hemp Godess said is the way I do it except I use RW Mini's. Loose the DOME! If they die after a while it is called (damping off) usally to wet, just moist is all it needs. I make sure to cover my bean with a small peice of media, they need darkness to germinate.
 
I have great results in rapid rooter's, it only took 4 day's from seed to RDWC !![/ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

sorry for that guy's, it's my first post and didn't quite worked the way i wanted it too :eek:
i also just noticed this was a 2 year old thread !!
 
Domes are for clones, you need a moist medium and thats it, i drop seeds in a cup of water for 24 hrs and then into the dirt, i think i have lost 2 of the last 85 attempts, many ways will work, you just gotta find your way.
