So a seed just sitting above the dirt is allright?

probably. you got a pic?

Is the seed pod sitting on top of the soil and hasn't cracked? I have had the root push the seed up through the soil when I didn't plant it deep enough...

 

[wiseguy316]

did you disturb the roots any?

 

[dukeanthony]

I transferred Seed to dirt after Tap Root showed 1/2 inch.
6 good
3 just stalled Seed is Cracked and sitting on top of soil
Been Like this for 2 days
1 of them show Leaves (at soil line) but not gaining any altitude

 

[Desr]

its most likely just doing its magic underneath the soil..it could be a slow starter(s)..

 

[dukeanthony]

yeah when you say seedling i imagine cotyledons and first set of leaves...is that correct?

No When I say Seedling I mean
Tap Root in dirt Cracked seed pod just above soil line

 

[Desr]

this could happen if you didnt bury it deep enough...id say give it some more time and im sure the seed will crack off..

Should I cover with a Little dirt?

 

[Desr]

id just leave it, itll work itself out..

 

[wiseguy316]

I have had to remove the shell a few times. that seems to speed things up.

 

[PeyoteReligion]

Patience. Make sure your not over watered or too high/low of temps. Or it could be a genetically weaker seed.

i have had to do this before too. once the seed breaks the surface it will dry out and sometimes it just basically strangles the sprout. id suggest delicately putting a lil dirt hill over it and keeping it moist with a spray bottle as often as you can. or if you have steady hands you can crack the seed head off of the sprout but this can be dangerous. i notice this happens with mostly older seeds most of the time. its a good idea to store your seeds with some herb to keep them fresher. its also not a bad idea if you get seeds from somewhere to let them sit in a container with some herb for a weak or two to suck up those oils.

 

[Desr]

mist the seed and itll soften it up before you try to pull it off (to prevent damage)

Ya me too pop that helmet off and spread those first embryo leaves too a bit.. helps to get it going. Always did this when you take your time and care the plants don't mind.
