Did it grow out of it or did you toss it?Mine:speechless:
Its weird. I never saw that before. I think I'll let it go another week just to see what happens. I am starting to feel bad for it. Lol. It sees all of my other seedlings come and go out of my seedling tray, and it just stays there doing it's own thing. The leaves are getting bigger but no new growth out of the top
LolLooks like a little stalk eyed alien.
It is what it is. I expect it wont survive without any leaves but the roots are deep, we’ll see.Did it grow out of it or did you toss it?
Lol. I know... I feel bad for it so I leave it sit there soaking up the light hoping it will come out of it. If it dont I might give it to my girlfriend to put with her other house plants and just let it grow as is. Poor little mutant. LolIt's a 50-50 chance of surviving, IMO. I have had these and they seem to suffer from hatching trauma. It might grow out of it, bit it will most likely stay gimpy and slowly fade away...but that is the fun of the unknown, like old school seeds that make both female AND male plants!
If you have the extra room and the patience, this can be a poster child for gimpy seeds. I had a couple Malawi seeds that hatched, then sat there for weeks doing nothing, much like yours. I ulled it but saved it when I saw a viable root. It was replanted but is tiny compared to the others of it's age. I felt sorry for it so I saved it!
Here is a little update to my mutant seedling. It is starting to show some deficiencies in its leaves since yesterday. And now it has a little development.... a new leave coming in from out of the inside. It looks all bunched up but its definitely coming in. View attachment 864799
Thank you for the tip. It's hard to tell from the pictures but they are buried about a 1/4 inch from the cotyledon. I did just put a little more soil closer up to it . Any thing to help it alongYou can fill up the cup with soil to like a quarter inch from the leaves for more support and the buried stem will grow more roots.
I fill them up all the way before planting and then about 5 days later when they need water i fill in the compacted space. Definitely helps keep them stout and grow a bigger better rootball.

I usually do that. And then I have no room to top off the soil when they stretch. So this time I only filled them up 3/4 of the way to leave room to add more soso to bury the stem when they stretch. I need to hurry up and finish converting my shed into a grow area so I can add my t5 light for my seedlings .Ok. Its hard to see. Next time maybe fill up the cup. Roots grow down and then out so you want them to have plenty of space.
all you can do is let it dry out good then water gently to runoff amd wait again. Patience is what plants want from us i think. We mostly get in the way with our hobby.
