Harmed seedling

Hello, I have a bit unusual problem, for the first time I was trying to help my little Lowryder with shell still attached to it's top altough it was already 1.5inch tall.

I took a pic so you can clearly see what I did. Now I'm asking if there's any way to save my little LR. Leave it germinating for a few more days, put it in soil and under light, throw it away. What's gonna be? :cry:

doubt that will make it pal.... you severed its head yeah? still can't make out the pic... if it had stretched to 1.5inch with the shell still on maybe you haven't soaked the seed properly or don't have enough light..... what method you use to germinate?

it was one out of ten seedlings, and they are under the light already (1st day). Germination proccess was OK, soaked rockwool cubes, dark closet with 22 C and humidity between 60 - 80%. It's just known fact, that Lowryder seeds have a bit stronger shell than others and it can happen that you have to help some seed "getting undressed". :D I had 2 of 10 LR's where I had to help with slowly & gently removing the shell, without a problem with 1st one, but the second one just fell apart.

The reason I'm asking this is because seedling isn't really destroyed, it just lost 1+ inch of it's root and steam so probably it would grow again, but it's just my opinion, for now I'm leaving this seed in rockwool for a little bit longer but still looking for some good answeres.
