Mistakes have been made

Ok so it's my first time trying out indoor and my first time dealing with seeds and it didnt take long for me to screw something up i started germ'in a day and half ago one took off and was about a inch and half so i went to plant it today and while monuvering it the shell of the seed pop'd off, now the seed itself is still good but will it grow? any advice would be excellent thanks.

was there any sign of life on the other side yet? green or yellow? you will probaly be ok, i did something similar once and it lived...i just buried is as fast as i could as hammered the cup with water
 
ya theres a bit of green but very little ya im hoping it will work out i've left the tip chillin out of the soil cause it made sense to me but maybe ill burry it, also how many cfl's would be sufficient for this bastard it's all alone in a 1.5" x 1.5" x 2' box i have 4 on it but it was getting a little heated so i took one down

seedling is about 500 lumens, and veg is about 3000 lumens. (this is what i did) But more the better. put a fan in with her and it should be good.

good luck!

i asked for a lot of help with fans and venting bro, i have a grow tent...and weed likes negative pressure, so i went with a powerfull exhaust fan blowing it out and 2 fans oscillating the air, and ive had goos success...so you need something blowing around but you def need something getting the air out
 
ya ok well i should have an outtake by sunday or so she's popped through and showing some leaves now so i think it'll be ok for a couple more days as is, thanks for the advice dudes once i get my hands on a camera i'll start a thread in the CFL section on here

sounds good bro, hope it works out for ya...i grow with cfl's myself, flower and everything...its obviously not as good as an hps which i think im gonna go ahead and get just to flower...but im barly controlling the temp in my tent now and an hps is gonna really fucking piss me off with temperatures i already know it...i know how to vent it but i rent the house im in now and my landlord lives next door...he obviously never comes inside let alone my bedroom. my wife really doesnt want me running an exhaust straight up from the tent and into ceiling..but well see...anyway post some pics bro
