I'm only on my first grow so my experience is extremely limited. NebulaHaze says here "it will usually fall off on its own". I had one of my 5 keep the shell on; I left it for a few days and when it didn't come off I very carefully pried it apart until it easily came off. I also heard to drip a little water on it over time to soften things up a bit first (which I also did for a couple days before trying to remove it). Good luck!

I don't mean to bother but just a couple more questions. The one that still has a shell on it does not look good to me should I make that one at a loss or keep working with It? The one that is opened how long did it take for your plants to get bigger? I got a solid 6 that are open just don't want to do anything to mess them up

I suggest using two toothpicks (or something with a similar blunt point) to pry open the shell (being careful to avoid touching the seedling itself). Try pushing outward (both at the same time) where I marked arrows on the picture below. I had to do it to one of mine and it came off pretty easily. Since you have six others and are ready to write this one off, you have nothing to lose trying to get the shell off, right?
Size-wise I had to transplant to a larger pot (from a Solo cup) less than a week after they sprouted. It seemed slow at the time but now I can't believe how big mine are after only 3 weeks!
Good luck!

Not much growth that I see. They look healthy to me I make sure not to over water they stay outside so they get plenty of sun not sure if this is me being impatient or something going on with the plants any info will be appreciated
