Could be a number of things.. Do you know the PH of your soil/water? Are there any nutrients built in to the soil? Are you giving it anything besides water? Whats the temp? What kind of light?

Little more info, and maybe you could be given a push in the right direction.

lol..give it some time man, really 2 days ago..I'm sorry but that's funny, sounds like me at the beggining. The roots will grow to the bottom quick and you will see rapid day by day growth very soon. Here check this out, it's just the last few days, but when they start stand back and watch em grow. AND remember they DO NOT need nutes for at least 3-4 weeks, so no nutes.

No I don't know what the Ph of the soil is. I do know that it is some MG potting soil I got from buddy of mine he said it should work fine. The temps are around 70 degrees and for lighting I'm starting out with a CFL. Thanks for the reply

It's probly growing its roots. They don't grow alot of shoot until they have established a root system. Give it time bro.

Hows your RH? You might want to put a bag over it to keep the moisture in. That's sort of what it looks like.

NO do not put a bag or dome or anything over it, it will sufficate the poor thing. Only use domes or lids for cloning. The humidity will come from the soil believe me, you will have a prob controlling it without a good fan in the near future (depending on your grow space)

You're crazy, and whoever told you not to dome seedlings was lying to you. I'm not talking about throwing it in a trash bag for a few days. I've seen this done with tomatoes etc. for years. Put a bag over it, wrap a rubber band around it and air it out often. If the RH is low and you don't have a humidifier, this can get you by the first 7 days or so.
