Doubtful, but it's something to ponder. Only way I could see that mattering, is if the cotelydons grow enough while still underground to make it seem like it's shedding the cover quicker. But then it would shed it's helmet (the hard seed cover) before breaking ground.

My guess is that it all depends on the techniques, ambient conditions and nutes used during seed maturation, (while still on the plant) ...and the strain.

Like I said though...just a guess.
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . Seed Sprouting Problem I am currently starting up another round of babies, and there seems to be a bit of a problem on over half of them(30 total). They have all come out of the ground and shed their seed shell. But the ones in question still have a clear "film" holding the cody's together so they cant bloom out. It would be nice if i could just pull the stuff off, but its on there pretty good. They just popped up today so if i can get it off soon, they should be ok, right?? Any reason why this is happening?
