Hey Trap, I'm kinda with the rest on this, I find it hard to let things go without seeing it through, maybe an ocd of sorts, like when I watch a movie, if it's not good most of the time I'll see it through just in case there's a good twist or ending somehow, unless I can't get through the first 10 mins then no. However, I'm also not limited on space, so that's a huge consideration. As far as removing the shell on your own, some threads advise against it since they use the shell for nutes while they're starting out, although I've had shells fall off the first day and they ended up fine,they might have been a little slower but I can't recall, sorry.
