Hey so cut right back on the water this time during the germination stage..this is day 2 after sprouting? Good progress or lagging ? I have had heaps go leggy..so at least it isn't that.

Cheers

Seems fine to me mate. I would remove the shell husk from the cotyledon ...but I like to pick scabs too so .

A drop of water helps the shell come off i find
Then I use a toothpick and gently slide it off.

Exactly Harry. I just give the shell a spray of water.

the plant will grow fine with that bit of seed stuck there, it will fall off by itself. Why interfere with the seedling. You all like a bunch of old women.

Hey, germination stage is the last time you want to cut back on water. Once they've germinated, then U can cut back a little to encourage root development.

Sometimes the seed can remain stuck for up to 3-4 days if not manually removed. Sure there's no need to interfere if grower likes wasting an additional 3-4 days of grow time and electricity.

Yeah probably so have worded it differently but it was after germination and and into sprouting phase

Sweet! Yeah it's easy to kill germinating seeds if they dry out.
