I think you're fine. Just bring the ph down a little it's a seedling they grow that color to begin with. My seedling is that color too but she's doing fine. later in the stages once it begins veg I think it will pick up it's nice green color. But try to have a ph 6.0-6.5

What's your medium? What nutes if any? Tips are starting to burn on the leaves i can notice. But we need more info.

Yeah it does look like it has a slight nute bun you don't want to feed it nute for the first 2 weeks just plain water. And you can brig the ph lv usig a product by General Hydroponics called Ph up Ph down to also come with instructions on how to use and comes with a it's own ph meter(meter is not electric) but an electric one makes it easier as some huge tend to have coloring which can make it difficult to see the ph level you can buy a ph meter in amazon for as low as $10.

no feeding at all. I dont know exactly in what proportions the medium comes. But i know there is humus, peat moss. Maybe the medium is to high in nutrients for the seedling? What should i do?

Try using organic medium i recommend a soilless medium like Coco coir / perlite mix. I use Fox farm "Bush Doctor Coco-Loco" for my medium. Already prepared with coco and perlite and is also ready to use. But you should try repotting it with new medium. And that should do the trick.

Just be warned.
Coco is not soil.
As such it CANNOT be treated like soil.
Its a soiless hydro medium.
Coco IMO requires coco specific nutrients.
Coco specific nutes are generally lower in K and higher in Ca and Mg than other nutes.
If you are going to use a small amount of coco to start your seedlings off in and then move back to soil that will be fine.
If you plan on sticking with the coco in larger pots then take note of my advice above.
Consider researching coco before using it as a full medium.

To me,really does not look that bad.Transplanting is gonna be hard on it.I would just adjust ph.
If you do move it to another Soil,be sure to be very careful,and do not disturb the root ball.
This is sound advice.

Do you not have the bag,that the soil came in?
I would just leave it in that medium,it does look like its a little hot,But transplanting is gonna cause to much stress.
Lower ph to 6.5 6.8,and keep a eye on it! That soil has nutes in it,and it could be a time release soil.
If time release go easy on watering.

The medium bag doesnt say anything. I have heard from other growers in my country that this medium is not good for marihuana plants. So, i need to change medium. Should i wait a few days and then do the repottig?

For future reference know the medium your using. Knowing is half the battle* G.I. JOE!!!!!!!.. If you're growing indoors, find a sterile, peat based, high porosity medium.. It would be an easier switch to go from soil to peat based rather than coco. That's just my .0002 cents. Any'who. Good luck. She will pull through fine.

Just dig DEEP to not disturb roots,should be fine.
FFOF or Happy frog are made to grow M/j.I use Both,if you can get one of the two.

You do know all thats gonna do is improve drainage? What about the PH issue?
And depending on perlite it might add more nutes.
I always rinse my perlite,also never no what is in that brand.
