When do you start culling problem plants?

Here is one that happens all the time and I haven’t crossed it on the site “yet”.

I thought I saw a thread regarding germination?? Might belong there?

Do you do anything at all?

I try to pry the seed casing off if possible. tweezers are useful. Sometimes weak seeds pop up above the surface and just crap out and die though, it can’t be helped. The mother plant didn’t give them enough nutrients to make it.

I call them helment heads. You can remove the shell with no problems.

I tend to let it be while using an eyedropper with water. The wetting and drying weakens the membrane inside the shell, which is actually the issue here, I think.

Thing is, it isn’t in the way yet, so it stays in play.

That is a Jacked Up x C99 (thank you @Muleskinner.)

That seems like an extreme time to start culling to me. I’d wait a little longer and see some leaves at least. Maybe I’m missing something?
