As long as you have the 2 cotyledon it should be fine.

Iv had some disaster seedling surgerys leaving them with just the one healthy cotyledon and a dried up shriveled one kinda looked like the fish nemo and it just grew like every other seedling.

Misting before trying to takeoff the shell helps heaps when it's stuck. Just slides off sometimes after a spray

Yeah I as spraying for like two days waiting for it to break off but it never did so I used a scalpel to try and cut the seed then pryed it off a little bit. Kinda worked.

Looking good man... I've got two Kandy Kush and two Papaya in the germ room right now. Still undecided what to veg and flower first though. What Kandy Kush like?

Flowie... Do you ever have trouble with botrytis? Last grow I did i started getting a few spots and had to cut early.

Boytritis/mould ..... I have never had an issue as i run 4 fans, lots of circulation, and a good air exchange.... my tent has an extreme amount of suction, my fan easily capable of extracting enough air for a tent double this size. I have a centrifugal type extractor fan and this works both ways. and flows massive amounts of air up all 4 sides of the tent. Boytritis happens when air is sitting stagnant, not usually because buds are big and fat, or i would get them EVERY time. My buds are literally wider than your clenched fist, and thats guessing any of you are big men :) If you have heaps of air flow the buds breathe. They are alive and need fresh air just like they would outside, and i have thought about this considerable drawing in fresh air into the house via other fans.

My rule of thumb: There should not be 1 single leaf that doesn't get passed by with fresh air and/OR in this case wind from a fan. THIS IS ESSENTIAL TO THE EVERY PART OF THE FLOWERS AND LEAVES SURFACE. Put your hand everywhere and always make sure you can feel a good breeze going that way.... if you don't, adjust your fans, or get some more!! even a few small ones can be very effective but make sure on the quality. Bad fans use cheap components and sometimes bushings instead of bearings and they may last a grow if that.... and they can stink with cheap noxious grease. BUY GOOD FANS i cannot stress this enough. I also run my 40cm heller fan on the ground of the tent pointing up into the plant pushing fresh air thats sucked in from the bottom vents all around the plant. ( Heller ) This is a very powerful fan.

GOOD AIR is as important as your lights coming on each day.

So nope :) no boytritis for me thanx :p Boytritis happens alot earlier than you may think, it's only usually later on people find it, after chopping and finding buds that just don't quite look right. There will be Hell happening inside your buds before you see signs on leaves if you don't have massive circulation.

Hey man, if you had have seen the fans I was running last grow you'd be confused then, I had a massive 350mm/14" Centrifugal fan on the outlet and a 250mm/10" one on the inlet as well as two pedestal fan blowing across the canopy and underneath, all in a room 1.4x2.5x2 meters. The 250mm fan was hectik enough by itself.

But I recon it probably had something to do with having my shed flooded about 5 weeks into flower, i never did make room flood proof lol, and i had my shed floor about 2inches under water and son the ply wood base of my room got a little soggy. It happened again about 2 weeks into the next grow and that why I shut everything down and didnt grow at that place no more.

Justr dont want it happening again coz the buds weren't fully ripe, coulda left them for at least another week.

I'm tipping you're humidity was high as fuck if your grow space was under 2 inch of water.

Can get pockets of air inside the buds when they fatten and if that air gets humid then it's kinda hard to get a breeze going through a thick bud

I keep forgetting my room flooded haha... the day it happened my whole town flooded and i checked on my shed to find the three ballast on the floor had water running through them so i shut all power off at the meter box before investigating further. Have since sold that house and our next house I made sure it wouldn't flood.

if you had a flooded room.... i dare say that was the culprit. It can also be a few other things to troubleshoot for. It can also be due to over-watering.... Or the res containing waste from root rot thus feeding the buds bad bacteria. Plants don't usually need as much water later on in the final stages as they retain quite a bit of moisture. The closer you get to harvest the less you will see the level drop in the res. Very easy to tell in a re-circ system. She slows drinking 2-3 days before i usually snip but she still seems to put weight on in the last couple of nights. I just tied up all my lower buds, they were all hanging upside down. They got very heavy very quickly.
