"Helmet head" is normal, happens often. You're fine, sometimes the cotyledons are stuck inside and you have to manually intervene but it's just stuck to one little piece. Leave it be, it'll drop off on its own.Hi guys, this is my second attempt at this since the first time seedling damped off. But this time I think I know how to not over water. Saying I wanted to share my seedling's photo with you BCS I found it strange for the seed to hang on like that. Is this normal?
Wow thank you so much for this answer. I will be posting updates I just used a sprayer on the today only on the edges. First water since they sprouted it's been 4 days. But I think I'm going to leave them about a weak because the soil seems like it's never going to dry since it's very humid here.Looks pretty wet! Make sure you let it dry way back before your water again! And my solos looks like Swiss cheese! And also like to have a small fan oscillating back-and-forth over them gently to encourage a little bit of drying! If you live in a humid area, drying can take forever! Your minds third eye can come in handy when visualizing where the roots might be and how they are progressing with seedlings! They don’t take much water! Can’t wait to watch your outdoor grow!at that stage, they aren’t transpiring much at all! So the only way that soil is gonna dry back is through evaporation!
It should be! As long as you were gentle and didn’t thrash it around too badly! I think we’ve all done it, but take it easy you big gorilla!today one of the cups fell on the ground exposing the roots of the seedling and it tried to put back to its place by filling it with soil again and i was trying to touch it as little as possible. hope it will be ok
Absolutely bro. I never heard it called 'helmet head' but the name fits perfectly. It happens all the time, very normal..Hi guys, this is my second attempt at this since the first time seedling damped off. But this time I think I know how to not over water.

Why aren't clear cups recommend? Can you explain? And what would be the best starter as my situation is better if use a starter cup first.Look good! Clear cups aren’t recommended! Looks like you had a successful transplant!
It works, but not ideal.If I was you, I would think about getting those girls into their final home (pot). In my experience, sooner the better. I usually sow my seeds directly into my 5 gallon fabric pots after soaking in water for 12 hours or so. Till they sink...
Because roots are born to spend their lives in the dark! They don’t care for light! I don’t know what the adverse reactions could be! You can Google that! Most people use red Solo cups, or small black plastic nursery pots! Something that light can’t penetrate much! Same goes with transplanting! The less light exposure, the better! I always wait till after the sun goes down. Some people start there seedlings in clear solo cups. But put them inside of red solo cups! So they can take a peek at the roots occasionally. You just want to put as little stress on the plant as possible!Why aren't clear cups recommend? Can you explain?
