I had a Big Bang auto that only had one cotyledon leaf.It grew slowly at first and i didnt think it wud make it.
But she pulled thro and bore fruit.
Yours looks like it will be fine as its got its second set of leaves,it will seem like forever til the next set appear
i was looking for them with my loupe,haha.
Good luck with it.

I've had two seedlings with only a single cotyledon, neither one made it to the second set of true leaves. Take care of it, but keep your expectations low, that's my advice.

O.k thanks, I am pretty pessimistic when moving it to another plant pot I saw the root is tiny like half a cm which is strange as it was longer when it first germinated. The leaves do seem to be growing but very slowly while the stem is hardly growing at all.

You should be just fine provided you use less water, that poor baby can't swim. For that size plant you are looking at very tender rootsystem, it doesn't need that much water. Number One cause of seedling death excess water in the soil.

Yeah I realised this quite early I give them a tiny amount like a cap of water but like 5 times a day.
