What am I doing wrong?

[JohnHerer]

Its two weeks old . This is a picture couple days ago and it still looks the same.

Should I just pull it out of the soil and eat it?

explain your setup etc first .

Im still using a small fan from the beginning.

The first week I had a 65w 2700k bulb and in the second week I added 65w 6500k bulb.

Its growing very slowly.

Looks a little to dry, the soil that is. Also if you can, delicately pull that seed shell off of your seedling. It seems to be hindering the plants ability to grow. e.i photosynthesize. Hope that helps. Also check the normal stuff like ph, temp, humidity, ect. laterz..

just use water no nutes, and I think it would be alright if you left the shell on.

Trying to take the shell off is dodgy, unformed leaf wont do you no good...

paitience is the key !!! it will grow just give it time, nature has a way of surviving! just give it some water and you will see results!!!

the hardest part of growing is waiting!!!i know its sucks but just
be patient, good luck man !!!

I have dealt with some bag seed strains that had this same issue, the shell was just very hard. Made it difficult for some of the seedlings to pop it off. At two weeks a seedling should have popped it off on its own. If it does not come off of its own in the next week then i would try and take it off. Its not gonna hurt your plant unless you just rip it off with no care at all. laterz..

if the shell doesn't come off, it will eventually kill the seedling ... when it becomes obvious it ain't gonna make it, mist the shell with plain water every few hours ... after a day or so of misting, pop the shell halves apart with a pair of toothpicks ... realize, they are quite fragile, and may be killed when you do it ... I have had 'fair' success at it, and I'm pretty 'fumble-fingered' ... :jointsmile:

take the shell of its easy you dont need nothing fancy to do it just your fingers just be careful what kind of soil do you have
