Wouldnt leave it on too long. Once they come above the surface, the shell can basically dry up and it might not fall off. It can keep the plant "trapped" inside the shell. It can kill plants. Happened to me a few times before.
Now I just grab a pair of tweezers and gently remove them if they stay on. I have never had issues doing it, but be very careful. It would be easy to damage the plant.

What I usually do when the seed shell gets stuck is i spray it with water a couple of times to make it soft so the lil baby plant can shed it.

I used to do the tweezer thing untill one time I pulled a coty off and almost killed a plant. Now I use water.

Cheers guys now my problem is the temp been around 90 i have 2 fans 2 4inch extractors the air flows great in my opinion and humidity levels are spot on it just shows it a little warm now ive read that high temps are good as long as the humidity doesnt get to high. I still need to put another light in yet

Think you have it backwards. High temps are not ok. High humidity is completely fine for veg state, which you are in. You actually want a fairly high humidity level during this period.
High temperatures with low humidity leads to a fast transpiration rate, which is generally bad. The plants will consume water faster and transpire it. The nutrient levels in the plants will rise since the plants only transpire water and not the nutrients. They are taking both up, but only releasing water at a rapid rate, while the nutes build and build. Make sense?
I have seen a lot of people have problems with burn due to either, having temps to high, or due to having gale force winds blowing on their plants. Both cause rapid transpiration are detrimental to the well being of weed.

Ok well i can go on the readings but within 48 hours all my plants have sprouted they look good and personally it feels nice in there. Plenty of air circulation. Thing is im using a cheap thermometere. It doesnt even have a humidity gage. It just doesnt feel humid. I watered my plants last night and gave them a spray this morning the soils still damp amd they look to be doing a good. Ive made two vent holes in the side walls and added an extra fan but the temp just stays the same. Im worried but really dont know what more i can do. And it was an article i read which said plants can withstand temps of upto 120 providing the humidity levels dont get high along with them

Oh the post also said the plants would be fine at extra heat just as long as i pay them extra attention with watering etc etc. Im stuck really. Hopefully winter will come soon and the temps will drop

Well, yes, they CAN withstand those temps. Marijuana is a hardy plant and will live through most anything. The idea is to have optimum conditions for your plants in order to have them produce optimally. I guarantee you that having temps that high will absolutely cause problems, and your yield and quality will most definitely suffer. Sure, they will live and produce, but not like they could have.
75-85 is a good range for weed. Anything higher than that, and you will start having issues. Not saying you can't produce some fire bud with 100 degree temps, just saying it would have been better at 85. The difference between optimum and just getting by is huge. I can easily pull 5x as much, at a much higher quality, as some of my buddies using the same lights and strains. It's that extra finesse that matters. As you become more experienced, you will be able to tell what these optimum conditions are more easily, as you should be seeing the results first hand.
Just do more research and look at grow journals if you need more convincing. You won't see awesome yields with exorbitant temps. PM me if you want some pointers or a little more advice. I've been around the block so to say.

Link the article if you would too please. It sounds like it is giving, how should i say...not so great advice. Post it here and others can give their opinion on it as well. You have to be careful what you believe on the internet. A lot of it is BS

Thankyou for the advice i really appreciate it. I have 2 600w running at the mo, maybe i should turn one off see how the temp does then hopefully the outside temp might drop a little. I doubt im gonna get 3 x 600 w in here. Thing is im from the uk and the temps here are nver to warm although it is pretty warm for this time of yr ill show u my room not very pro but im a total newb everything ive learned is off the internet lol

very very gently remove it if it doesnt fall off in the next day.
