Has anyone ever had this with baby seedlings?

One of my plants is 5 days old and only has the two circle leaves on it (cotyledons). It is a baby seedling and the seed was germinated quite well the root was about 1 and half inchs long and it is a lemon skunk strain from greenhouse seeds.
Is this ok will the plant grow fine or is the plant kinda doomed?
The images are kinda blury but as you can see it only has 2 leaves and it is 5 days old it

Have you done much reading at all? .....Almost ALL plants start off with 1 or 2 cotyledons....I really don't understand what your issue is...those plants are perfectly fine.

Fill me in on why you are so freaked out about a perfectly normal seedling.....If you knew they were cotyledons then how the heck do you not know that that seedling is perfectly fine....

It looks fine, you're being too impatient, it will eventually put out it's first set of true leaves. as stated don't over water it.

Sorry if I sounded "rude" I guess you could put it, but what you have is a pefectly fine baby marijuana plant, Every plant starts with 1 or 2 cots like I said before Those leaves don't use photosynthesis they already have food stored in them for the plant to use and grow it's first set of working photo sensitive leaves. You will see tiny growth in between the cotyledons and that is the first set of what is called "True Leaves" because they are the first set of leaves that truly use light for photosynthesis to produce food for itself

Oh yea one more thing I forgot to add. Don't get scared when those small round leaves shrivel up and die and fall off, it is normal. They become useless once the plant starts creating its own food source with light.

Don't worry man. :) once the first set takes off it'll grow faster. I'm on day 7 of my first grow and my second set of leaves is already coming in! They look nice and healthy compared to mine. Mine had crooked twisted Cotyledon's that we're really ugly haha. Best of luck!
