Helmet Head?

on my first solo indoor hydroponics grow currently and had one out of my five seedlings come out still rocking her turtle shell but it looked to be membrane from the inside shell still what i thought was hanging onto her colys preventing them from opening after abbout 3 days of only stem progression and no real changes but stalk got a lil taller and thicker. At closer inspection it looked to me as it was membrane that wasnt just holding on to her colys but easily looked fused almost 3/4 of the colys still to this tough inner outter membrane after rigerous attempts being as careful as possible tweezers, needles you name it this skin wasnt coming off without doing severe damage to her stalk and was beginning to wilt and fade to a yellower tone. Upon noticeing this i took it upon myself to try to save the little girl before she was to weak and i did something risky to most and grabbed my good surgical scissors and SNIPPP cut everything off 1mm or less possibly right after the spot the colys first attach to the stalk in hopes of giving it a fighting chance in my judgement anyways im just curious as to if anyone has donne this or heard of even thinking about attempting this it looks to me its actually improved in the 24hrs or so since the clipping shows no signs of drooping or discoloration now really but once again first solo hydro grow and its only my 2 grow all together so i could use some input if possible pls
