no pics so I'll describe it as good as I can.
I started germinating about 4 days ago. I've been watering enough to keep the soil moist (about 2 very light waterings a day), I put the seed tail-down about 2cm into the dirt inside a very small Jiffy Pot. One sprout has emerged in a short period of time between checkups, but it's been laying down on it's side since before I even noticed it emerged. The part that vertically emerges from the soil is nearly identical to a standing seed of the same age, but it's head (what I call the top before the shell breaks off) appears really dry on the inside... and of course the most concerning part is that everything above soil is completely over to the side like a limp noodle.
Do sprouts of this nature often stand back up and begin to grow again, or does it sound like something that will more likely wither away?
edit: ok the shell is actually broken off, it may have just been loosely sitting there for a while but not attached - I say this because it came off just from me turning the plat (the jiffy pot sits on) around. there's no sign of living cotyledon leaves so I'm guessing the things dead. I'll give it some time though, and I'm kinda curious as to how it would have died too
thanks.
