Seedlings having a little trouble

So I was wondering if these seedlings will be alright. They had a hard time getting their shells off, and I was able to gently pinch them off. The first one looks the worst, but I'm assuming it will continue it's growth? The 2nd one looks better. What do you guys think?20140506_104202[1].jpg20140506_104207[1].jpg

They'll be fine, the shells sometimes stick and take some time, no worries, I usually leave them unless they're just stuck and eventually they fall off.

Keep an eye on your soil and burn, looks a little hot for seedlings, better to cut it a bit at the top half of the cup with something like PRO-Mix.

Just time now, be patient...

soil is far too wet. Young plants only need a tiny amount of water.

They might survive it's a possibility, but the first one will have stunted, slow growth because that first pair of leaves are deformed. It takes a while for a plant to recover after sth like that.

I have seen seedlings completely shriveled over transplanted into some good aerated soil come right back to life. If the problem is resolved they will survive.
