Hello,
currently, I´m trying to germinate a few seeds using the paper towel method in a sealed jar. The first one to germinate was the Red 7 Pot seed about 10-11 days ago. I planned to leave the sprout in the jar with 100% humidity till the cotyledons clear the seedcap, but I think, the seedcap is stuck. The stem continues to grow, but the end of the cotyledons is in the seedcap with no progession whatsoever in the past 3 days.
What should I do? Wait more or try to gently free the cotyledons?....I´m a bit afraid to try to apply force....that thing is so weak and gentle....
Any suggestions would be appretiated! Here is a pic:
