my friend the best thing i can tell you to do is gently break apart the peat pellet then gently try to replant root down.
 
I'm no help... But something that stupid deserves to die and save the rest of the gene-pool.

Darwin FTW
 
I am new to the the grow scene but even i know that you should plant your seed with the root tip pointing downwards into the peat pellet then you should not have this problem, did you plant your seed properly with the root tip pointing downwards??? try to carefully cut the cube in half so it shows the top then put the half that you have just cut in the bottom of the root, also you only hv to plant the seed about twice as deep as the seed is wide :joint:

i soaked the seed & put it directly into the peat no paper towel germination
 
I have that happened to me before. Take some twisers. and take the seed out very carefuly and turn it around manually, dis a little whole, place it in it and buried the moss around it again without covering the whole seed .....it should work but u have to be very careful my firend....

.........ordenarily i would germinate my seeds on paper towel then plant them with the root pointing downwards, but the little root hairs can get attached to the paper towel & when you pull it away they can get torn making the seedling suseptable to rot.so because of the value of these i cracked them in peat...thankyou for the suggestions ..peace sun
 
xxxxx

i would like to thank everyone for the help & suggestions .............what i decided to do was cut away the mesh , wash away the peat ,this freed the seedling witch i then planted with the root pointed down......this process seemed nice & gentile to me..here,s some pics .........sun

Grass CLippins

She looks healthy, a little small but healthy....
You know what i found out by trail and error. I found out that separating the grass cuts from the lawn...and placing them in a little mount by the sun, that compost is execllent for Vegetation...once the grass starts turning into mush....mash...cant spell....mix it with water and add to the plants...its not strong so it wont hurt them but it works like great...Feed it to the plants once per week or once every two weeks and u will see the immense difference.....
Take Care Sun


hey patroit ! ya here she is:smiley_joint:
 
high guy, sorry i didn't see your posting on the 3rd.

anyway, you did the right thing.

here are a couple pics of one i had to do the same thing to,
as it happens, it was 1 of 5 and, once i got it turned around,
it showed that it was the most vigorous of the 5 and, almost
a year later, it still is, lol. (it's clones root faster and grow
more vigorously than it's cousins)

yeah man, the twisty one is White Rhino #1 and her clones
are still going strong.

i popped those 5 WR's along with 5 PPP's (Pure Power Plant)
and ended up with 5 female WR's and 4 female PPP's, lol, so
i still have 5 beans each and they're almost like feminized, lol.

btw, i still have clones of 4 of the WR's and 2 of the PPP's
although i have so many other flavors right now i'm unsure
whether i'll keep them.
 
right on ill be watching i might evan order them someday peace sun
