the seeds just stuck on the first two leaves, make sure to take it off gently before it gets too big, it could kill it, happend to me once and now i always take em off as fast as i can

well its almost like i can see part of the root coming out of the dirt next to it.. almost like it started growing and got pushed up out of dirt..

like when a seed is germinated. the white root sprouted out seems like it is popping out of dirt and a lil over the seed itself is coming up.

i think i may have not planted it low enough in the soil? how low is it supposed to be planted?

1/4 to 1/2 in. yea it sounds like you got a bigger problem then a stuck seed pod, you could try puling the whole guy out and stick his tail downward other than that i dont know how to help. i do know roots arent supposed to see light tho might screw her up

I dont think it is too late to repositon, I dont know about replanting. Maybe just bury the root end a lil better and point the seed head upward and make it stay that way. Otherwise I don't really know how to advise you. However they are a very resilient plant.

yea i think i just completely killed/ruined/murdered my baby :(

it was trying to do as u say,..and root was longer then i thought.. and root was thin and fragile and cut in half
lets say if root was about 4inches.. and 2.5 got cut off... basically screwed it all up right?

if you replant it, it will probably die. if you leave it alone, it will probably die. either way...'nuff said. next time try planting more than one seed and you'll have a better survival rate. good luck.
