Kinda confused here... what do you mean you rehydrated and replanted them... why were they unplanted?

Also 7 feet away is waaaaayyyyy too far. Not sure what light you're using but it's typically ideal in the 12-24" range pending the intensity

Can you possibly get a better picture? Because in that it looks like it's having a hard time shedding the shell. If the shell doesn't come off the plant dies.

Not much better, but yeah, it looks like your plant can't shed the seed. Spray it with some water and you make have to help it remove it, or it's gonna die.

I really do like doing the sprout in a damp paper towel and then planting. Even for an auto. Just do not replant the auto and put it right from sprout into a 3 gallon pot ;) IMHO

How close was it and what kind of light is it?

Not good if a seedling shriveled up...

Oh boy... spray that seed with some water, and in 15 minutes VERY CAREFULLY remove that shell. Or that thing is dead. If it's not already.

May be dampening off if the stem is thinning as well...


I've used a toothpick/tweezers before to remove. There's also a clear layer that may be need to be removed as well to open up the cotyledons
