Antonio said:I also tried pulling the "hat" off a seedling after misting the seed casing failed to work. I pulled too hard and the leaves came off also, the plant was written off as dead. A week later, I noticed the stalk had turned green, and a new leaf was just starting to form
The seedling now has a 1cm long true leaf and a 2nd on the way, I usually weed out the slower, smaller plants, gonna give this one a chance, for I like it's fighting spirit.
I've had a similar experience with my pepper seedling too.
