Noobie needs help!

[Christhenoobie]

Hello this is my first post and as a noobie I have had a few very unsuccessful grows and been struggling for weeks to get some seeds germatated but finally got two to sprout and they both about a inch tall now but the one still has the shell of the seed stuck on it.... is it safe to try take off or just let it be and see what happens ? I have waited about 2 days and it has not changed.... please any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Yeah, you can definitely play midwife by hooking a fingernail or a paring knife or some tweezers in there to de-shell it. Just be careful of course...

Alright thanks ill give it a go and see what happens.

Getting a couple drops of water on there first and letting it soak in to soften the husk makes removal easier.

[Christhenoobie]
