10 days old. Been stuck in the greenhouse most days since it's been pouring on and off for most of the week. Lost 1 due to not being able to get the seed shell off :headbang:

Beyond planting deeper to avoid the issue altogether, my favorite trick for this is to get tweezers. Squeeze the tweezers together and place the tips between the cracked seed shell, slowly release the tweezers and as they open it gently pops off the seed shell. You may then surgically have to remove the sleeve/casing that the cotyledons sit in within the seed shells as often this is left on too.
