Id suggest being patient. Still hanging on tomorrow, maybe give it s spritz of water and wait a few hours. Still there, id recommend very carefully and gently trying to peel it off with tweezers. VERY carefully

I tried takeing a picture the plant is too small you wouldn't be able to see what I'm talking about, one of the plants has a leave that is curled up pretty badly, it will probably un curl as it grows hopefully

I use the same method except i drop my saliva on it and that will remove the membrane.

It will be no time were you are going to look back and say "I was worried for nothing". Weed is incredibly strong and adaptable. They can go through hell and back and still grow pretty well. Good luck.

I've seen plants respond within hours. You'll be alright bud. Just last night I had a seedling with the shell on it still. I waited some and it fell off. Today she is reaching for the lights. That was about 6 hours ago.
