Seeds without cotyledons

Guys, First of all excuse my poor english, my name is Sebastian and I' from Chile.

Hi to all!

I got a problem germinating some seeds, autoeuforia from dutch passion, they all 3 germinate really fast BUT when i saw them yesterday I noticed that they didnt have cotyledons at all they look like cut, just a really long root, i actually put them now on their final pots but need to know if they are gonna live or i should just changed them for anothers.

Here are some photos,

It still in the seed? I'm confused....do you know what cotyledons are?

Those 2 first little leaves;

And now my friend, they are now as you can see in the second photo, out of the seed but without those 2 first little leaves.

It looks like the taproot broke away... seedlings aren't going to grow without cotyledons.

BTW you can germinate seeds directly in potting mix.

Yeah it's toast. It got broken off. If you have more seeds just try again and this time be more careful with them. When the stem grows out a fair amount you may need to pull the two sides of the shell apart to free the cots. Some seeds don't pop open well by themselves. Have to be very careful though. You just use your thumbnails. You start them in paper towel, right? Soak em in water overnight in a plastic covered cup, like 30 ml fertilizer cup or protein powder scoop cup (like 1/4" of water) in the dark and then strain the water off and put them between wet paper towel until the stems come out a fair amount. Try not to use chlorinated tap water too. At least use water that went through a Brita filter pitcher or something, which removes the chlorine. Melted frost from a freezer is good. I put the little cup in a ziplock baggie, myself. I put the damp paper towel in the same little cup with just a little water in the bottom and the towel positioned so the seeds are up from the water and the towel acts like a wick. Some may think that's too wet but it works for me. I put the cup with the towel in the baggie again and the whole thing in a drawer so it's dark.

Looks like that taproot ripped off, looks like you can see the cotlydons at the bottom of the cup, and right above the root in the first picture.

Be very gentle with those taproots, they can break off easily and you can slow growth dramatically, or worse, kill your babies.

Guys, just wanted to add that i didnt touch the seeds till that night, and they were already out of the shell without their "heads", so i wasnt about manipulating the seed,

Got 3 Think Different now, they pulled out just fine, growing normal with the exactly same conditions than the other 3 euforia.

Thanks to everyone!

PS: Please excuse my poor english.
