Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I was reading a lot on this site but haven’t registered until now because I faced kind of a problem. So this is my first time growing ever and I got some autoflower seeds from fast buds (sour diesel strain). I germinated seeds using paper towel method and it was sucessfull. After that I planted 2 seeds in jiffy pots. I was not sure whether to keep them in dark or light since I read all sorts of stuff but In general most of people said its better for them to get light (also a little bit of temperature boost). So they were inside a little box and I put a bed lamp inside just so temperature grows a bit and they get a little light. They were inside for like 16 hrs and 8 hrs in dark. Since then 16 hrs has passed and they grew a bit over night. One is looking good while the other one I cannot tell exactly..seems a little bit off. And this is because both seed shells were stuck on leaves until now I did pour a few drops of water on each seed and they fell off pretty quick. This is the result (posting pics below). So my question is: did I do something wrong? Is this normal, should it be ok or it has a chance of dying? I just gave them a bit of soil (lightmix) and a little bit of water and placed them outdoors to get some sunlight because its sunny mostly at this time of year. Then I thought after 4 more hours I put them to rest for 4 hours and then back to sun until the end of the day when I again put them under light in box inside. I could use any suggestions, opinions, please feel free to tell your opinion. I wanna know what is happening and what should I do next? When do I plant them in container?C167A879-FAE7-4719-8E09-97EA977286BC.jpeg

in the future once your seeds got a tail put it in soil. Red solo cups are great starting containers just make sure to poke a bunch of drain holes in the bottom. Shells stick to cotelydons(the little first leaves) all the time don’t worry about it. If you’ve grown a tomato plant before you can grow a weed plant it’s not nearly as hard as people make it out to be

Actually I never grew anything so far. This is my first plant ever. So I listened to your advices and managed to pull that seed shell off thanks god! Also dis transfer them into pots with soil. 2 different types of soil because I ran out of light mix unfortunately.
This is what it looks like now (posting pics below)
What do you think? Does they look good so far? Thank you everyone in advance!

Also how long should I wait before starting to feed them with nutrients? I got hesi starter kit for my first grow. Hopefully it will do okay, I will feed according to hesi soil grow scheme.
