Sweet update and great pictures GD. Great job on the micro surgery for lil helmut head! That is unfortunately a predominant characteristic of the seeds from my strain - very thick and hard shells that often won't open or grow off. It looks like you did a great job and she'll come through ok. I am so looking forward to watch your autoryders come along. Thank you for sharing kind sir - all the best to you, Cheers

I feel pretty confident that she is a trooper and will be my best girl yet
.....just the fact that an hour after the surgery she was already trying to shed her shell tells me that tomorrow lights on i will have another christmas present with her up and about with no shell
A helpful hint for both of you, from someone who spends way to much time experimenting:
When you're using any kind of plugs, rapid rooter, or the ones in the aerogarden, take a toothpick insert it into the hole (im aware of the jokes to be made) And stab the ever living f&ck out of it at multiple angles so that taproots can pick their own path of least resistance.
And the helmet head/rough and tough seed casings you guys have to deal with, can be made childs play with a matchbox, and some semi-course sandpaper. ( a nail file also works, but you must be careful of your depth)
Happy holidays to all!
