Also forgot to add that no ferts. Were used in the starter mix and the soil temp stayed a steady 86 to 87 degrees. Someone please alleviate my panic!!!! Erik

I had the same thing on one of mine,but it turned out fine.I think it was the start of some rotting when it was in the seed coat.not sure what its from but my guess is its from to much water in the soil,or the seed coat fails to come off right away and moisture is trapped in there.you should be fine.

I had brown ones on my 1101 Marshall and it is by far my best plant now. I'm with what P said, sounds like a moisture thing.

Cots are just a food source, like a yolk for a chicken. They are important. But will wither off and die once the 1st leaves start forming.
