Stuck seed shells are not unusual and should not be a problem to resolve. Keep it as damp as you can so it will continue to split and if , after a day or so, it looks like the leaves are bulging out just very gently pry the shell off. Be sure to use a stir stick behind the shell so you don't damage the stem or leaves by bending. I use tweezers to hold and a straight pin to pry. Yes, sometimes I screw it up but, mostly, this works.

water, sticks, tweezers, and pins?
It's not major surgery.. just pinch it delicately with your fingers and pull it off.

Did you try to open it yourself? Nice scrog. My scrog is almost done! 1st grow ever. On week 7 of flower.

Actually I left it on the whole time, never fell off, it ended up drying to the leaf hahaha... After about the third week the seedling leaf dried up along with the seed. And thanks I love my scrog about to turn her over into flowering in a couple days, im going to lollipop underneath the scrog and use lower branches for clones

Uff! Nice dude check out mine let me know what you think it's not the seed it's a clone in a replicated box that I built. I haven't made a journal for the seed, cause I don't know if it'll be a male or not. My seed is my control and I've been testing methods on my clone hahaa
but your seed should be fine just let her grow if all else fails get out the razor blade and perform surgery hahah

U dont need to touch it man. I had that same thing on one of mine for more than a week b4 it came off by itself. Let the plant do its thing. Its not worth effin it up just tryin to make the plant grow faster, u shud just let her take her time and in the end she'll reward u for ur patience.

Nice ya I'm running a few of those some super skunk and aurora indica but I'm only like 17 days in on em this is my first time with their strains usually i go to canada its like a 25 min ride and theres a bank right over boarder
but idk what to expect I'm sure it will be relativley good there pretty reputable as far as this business goes even though u will read some bad reviews here and there nobody is around that long who puts out a bad product and even the pros will have the odd ball bad seed

what ive done in the past is waited till its hardly on there and then misted the shell and used a needle to sort of pry it off
wow, how convenient to boarder hop for seeds lol must be awesome! It was my 1st time ordering seeds, they had cheaper prices. Also got white castle and bubblelicious. Do you plan on training them? I'm trying to work on a monthly perpetual harvest.

ya its still gets ur nerves going but ya i am main lining them as thats what i usually do i topped sunday and will either top for four top tinite or tommorow and for 8 hopfully sometime this weekend and i think 2 of them im gonna try 16 tops on but i think it really gives awsome results not many have i seen not do well with it you can scrog em or just let em go with 8 or 16 tops but pretty awsome technique one of my favorites
I wanted something perpetual.. but can only do soil for now. Sog would be a pain to do perpetual since all them pots need to be watered one by one. Scrog is fun but too much work. I was thinking a perpetual main line though. Less plants and bigger buds. What do you think?
