Bubba Kush seeds from Attitude came last Wednesday, germinated & popped root foot & planted Friday. The came up into the light yesterday (Tuesday), but 1 hasn't lost it's seed pod:wall:. Is this a problem? No green showing from leaves what-so-ever. Just a stalk and seed pod:cuss:. Will it push out through or should I try to help?:cry:
 
Don't remove it!
if you do, it can be fully attached to the cotyledons (the first leaves) and by pulling it, you'll break those off, and kill the starter plant.

It happens sometimes. Give it a day or two to push it off on it's own. If it hasn't by then, at that point I would try VERY GENTLY to remove it with a tweezers. It's the last thing you want to have to do, because as stated, if you rip off the embryonic leaves, you will kill it. However - it's been my experience that if it goes past a couple of days and you don't pull it off, it can damage or kill the seedling, as well. :peace:

It was still on tight yesterday morning, so I decided to see if I could take it off. I got out the tweezers and gently squeezed the pod to see if it would open so I could take it off without damaging the leaves you mentioned...SUCCESS!;-) I got the pod off without too much effort and this morning I checked and saw the leaves coming along fine. A little distorted, but I think they'll be fine after another day of growth. So again, thanks for the input and rep ups to you all:clap:.

:weed:mmmmmmm, Ganja good. Grow on brothers and sisters in hemtitude.
