Looks as if the shell casing is stuck on the leaf, you may need to help her out. Grab some tweezers and CAREFULLY try to remove the casing. Once you remove it, it should be okay.
 
I have just done that but in the process the leaf has like snapped but not completely off just bent is this still ok or have I ruined it
 
Great thanks guys will upload a few later see if I saved it thanks its only auto flower jack herer have you had experience with auto flowers
 
Right this is a photo of it today it's going really yellow is this ruined now or could I possibly save it anyhow guys have been told to get humidifier yet that not happening right now next week I can pick one up but is this going to be ok leaving it or shall I just start again with another seed when I get humidifier thanks for any help of you guys

Are you feeding nutes? What's temp and RH? I didnt have a humidifier at first my rh was about 15-20% with low 70s for the first few weeks and it was fine.

Also it might just be where you said it bent and broke no? If that part of the plant is dying off it looks like the new growth coming in is okay, might be too soon to tell yhough
 
Temp is roughly between 25-28 most the time but the Rh is and always has been 30-40% not feeding nutes as I had some all mix yet thinking that may be to strong I have placed another seed in pellet and starting off that way see if it makes a different

Temps and rh are fine I dont see why you would need a humidifier. 30-40% is not bad the soil mix may be too strong. I would keep growing it out though.

In my early days, I have germinated seeds out in the blistering hot sun.
Humidity and shit like that is not a deal breaker.

A small seedling has everything it needs inside the seed. All it wants is light.
It would probably grow in a handful of moist cardboard shreds.
The correct amount of light is produced by a 20ish W spiral CFL or 10W led bulb in cool white spectrum at about 1.5 to 2" from the top adjust as the plant grows to maintain that distance.
With enough fresh air for CO2 and this light, they should grow to at least half a foot in 10 to 14 days.

You just moisten the grow media, plant your seed, and don't do anything for a week unless it germinates faster.
You can cover the top with some glad wrap with holes in until it germinates if you are scared it will dry out.
If it takes more than a week, ad one tablespoon of water over the spot the seed is at every night.
you just have to keep this little bugger moist and given a tiny bit of food and microbes if you are into that until you see the first leaves.
You literally have to interact with it maybe 3 or 4 times until you have your first true leaf set.

Messing with it any more, however well intended, leads to shit.
 
I have a 100w CFL grow light set up in my tent as well I got told 100w per plant then 50w per extra plant and it's an auto flower so this light should be ok throughout its whole cycle

is it 100w or 100w equivalent? also it is better to have a few 23w to make up the 100w than 100w by itself imo. It will spread the light out more instead of just being one giant bulb. While more bulbs are not needed. In most cases, many smaller lights will beat out 1 big light.

Little tip, if it happens again take it off within 24 hours before it dries out, and if it does seem to be dry, rehydrated with a spray mist for several hours and then take it off because it will be more pliable wet
