well not everyone names their plants, we have on occasion when the name really fits the plant but mostly they get letters and/or numbers
Dr. Jekyll
As a first time grower, plants got names like "holy crap batman, it's alive" or "rats, I think we just killed it"

Mine get stripper names that start with the same letter as their strain.
Sabrina = Super Skunk
Natalia = Northern Lights
etc.
Keep in mind I am only going to grow a few plants at a time. If you are growing a room full, I would probably go with Dr Jekyll or just call them "weed".

Well I'm talking for a small time 1 plant kind of beginner. I wanted to name it Eve but I thought everyone must give theirs this name.
I checked on Saturday night and nothing was sticking out, now I came home tonight and checked and there's 2-3 inches sticking out with the split seed husk stuck to 1 of its 2 main leaves. I am not sure what to do next!

put it in soil, with a bit of water (not too much) and put it under some light, (23 watt CFL 6500K works great for seedlings).

Alright I'll post a picture of it soon.
It germinated in soil, so that's already taken care of. It is growing in a 3 gallon pot. Also, it is an autoflower seed.
Right now I have had a 400W lightbulb on at 50% just to heat up the area because I read the seedlings like it warmer. Is that way too much light for the seedling to handle? I can always raise the light higher over it or just keep it off or turn it on for less hours.

be careful as 400w is allot of power for a seedling even at 50%, keep the bulb at least 24 inches away for the first while

You want to maintain at least 18/6 hours per day, but many will go 20/4 especially with auto's

wow, they are cute little healthy babies, how nice
edit:yes 18-on 6-off

Don't worry about the shell, it will likely fall off in a day.

Thanks! That seems like a lot of sunlight, but not a problem. I'll try to find a lower power light so I don't fry it, and until then I'll limit its exposure by raising the light higher above it and maybe give it some shade with a paper plate.

no need to shade it, just keep the lights high 2 to 3 feet until it seems stable, then lower slowly
Dr. Jekyll
that's the problem, it's not sunlight, it's artificial light

I have a 12 day old girl with the shell still clamped on to a seed leaf. She's very healthy, but that little shell still wants to hang on.
