  1. I have one seed sprouted that had its shell stuck to its cotyledons so it is bent over and I'm not sure how it will do. I also have one seed that cracked and I planted in soil and three more seeds germinating in a glass of water. ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1415069394.635236.jpg
    Here is the seedling that's growing with some peppers. ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1415069477.956940.jpg
    Here is where they will be growing with a bunch of pepper plants and one cherry tomatoe plant
     
  2. The shell stuck to the plant is no big deal. Nature will make it fall off or in a few days you can carefully remove it. Good luck on the other seeds hopefully they crack soon.
     
    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that one light will not do it. Plus you want that light as close as you can get it like 2in away. Otherwise you will have tons of stretching in the new plants. You don't want a foot tall plant with 2 sets of leaves.
     
  3. Just moisten it with a mist spray and pop it off... Carefully
     
  4. Seedling is doing worse as the stem can't bend up straight and it is getting no light on its leaves ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1415142857.680788.jpg
     
  5. The leaves look blackish. I think something else is going on other than the shell getting stuck.

  6. Yea that black tip does not look good.
     
    How many days since planting is it at from the last pic?
     
  7. Haven't really been counting how long. A couple days germinating and its only 2 day since it come out of the soil. I was hoping it would stretch for the light and fix itself but the cotyledons actually closed together more so I think it killed itself. I'll leave it for another day but I have three more seeds germinating so it's not a big deal. I've also found out these seed are really hard to crack. I had one germinating for almost a week then decided to crack it myself and two day later it had a big taproot sticking out
     
  8. how do you crack a seed yourself without damaging it?
     
  9. I had it in paper towel for about a week with some other seeds that weren't germinating so I just gave them all a little squeeze until I felt it move a little bit then put them back in paper towel for a couple days ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1415232492.088687.jpg
    It has only been in the dirt about a day
     
  10. i may try this with a few of mine that are being stubborn for me its been 2 1/2 days :/
     
     
  11. Just be sure to be very gentle and only do it if you know they are hard seeds

    Here is a new seed that came up last night. I have two more in the soil with taproots next to it
     
  13. I'm doing 12/12 from seed and may pollinate the females or just save the pollen from the males
     
  14. I actually had a bubba '76 that I had to "squeeze"....damn thing never popped though.
     
  15. Here's a pic of the growth since yesterday ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1415399342.550414.jpg

    Here is another pic of the seedling and I wanted to show my seeds that weren't cracking so I decided to give them a little squeeze last night and they both have tap roots starting ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1415477710.383538.jpg
     
  17. It's been about another 24 hours so I'll put up another pic. The plant lost about three hours of light this morning because the power went out and the timer got reset. ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1415557368.489240.jpg

    The lights were only on for a couple of hours today because my timer was messed up. Turned them back on and I guess will leave them on until I go to sleep
     
  19. It's second set of leaves is just starting to grow and another seed sprouted today ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1415752407.199769.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1415752421.515445.jpg
