Leaves Stuck Together

[Wicked]

I just started a hydro grow and its only been 3 days but it has sprouted with the 2 leaves stuck together with a brown looking spot right at the edge where they are stuck. Should I just leave it alone and see if it splits up on its own or separate it?

Sounds like you have a seed shell stuck on the tips of your seed leaves. If this is the case, it looks like a little brown cup or cap holding the ends of the 2 seed leaves together. Some folks say wait and it will pop off naturally,... I'm a bit impatient and usually try some VERY GENTLE work with a pair of tweezers. It goes without saying.... be extremely careful if you go the tweezer route.

Oh... and a photo is worth 1000 words.

The seed literally just fell off after I moved it. But it still seems like the 2 leaves are held together at the 2 tips with a little brown spot on both. Sorry I don't have a camera right now or I would of put up a picture.

BEEEEautiful... that's the best possible result. You may have some browning on the tips.... but it's not a big deal. Her leaves should naturally separate and her life will continue. This happens to me all the time, so I assume it happens to everyone.

Cheers... and thanks for letting us know!

Sweet thanks for the help I was worried the 2 leaves were pancaked together at the tips but after reading your post I guess it is a normal thing.

They should separate quite quicly... like within a day. Let us know if something odd happens.

Cheers
