germed seed in paper towel last Wednesday (4/13). Taproot emerged by friday morning. Planted in 100% b'cuzz coco substrate (in solo cup) and watered with bottled drinking water. no nutes added as of yet. box is 2x2x6 with can fan s 400 and can filter 2600 moving air. passive intake at bottom of box. rel humidity has maxed at 43% and minimum is 35%. temp ranges between 70 and 75°F. light is sun system 150W HPS 3 feet away from seedling. i do have an exhale CO2 bag near the solo cup. cup has plenty of drainage holes and etekcity moisture meter is reading 7 (end of moist heading into wet) approx 3/4 down cup. One cotyledon appeared to stick to end of other cotyledon and is no longer present. first true leaves are present but are small and not oriented to face the light. I am mostly worried because it looks nothing like the pictures i have seen online and all research i have done is getting me nowhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Gotta be patient, give it some time it'll take off. Its probably growing where you cant see. Just don't let the soil dry out and try not to pay too much attention to it, lots of plants get fucked up from to much love.

100%

Looks pretty normal. My only advice is stick to your original plan regarding nutes as you might get tempted to start feeding to early or over fed, which as you probably know will cause bigger problems.

Thanks guys you have eased my mind. I have left them be and have seen at least an inch or two of growth since last night.
