Woah, deep breath. Take a picture and let us look at it. Most likely it is the root hairs showing.

@queek idk i dont think so.

my seeds just germinated ... i think it is the "hook" that is having white fuzzy hair

the stems on my seedlings have fuzzy stems, so i think you are being a hypocandriac to and extent. if it is growing just keep it moist and not dry out completely and you will be good!

What kind of seeds were they? I need to plant them on my head, then i could start using my comb again. :woohoo:
