A week old and only 1"? Sounds like whack soil, broseph.
Get some nice organic soil ...foxfarm or black gold. Do you know what that contents of your soil are? If not ...I would get your seedlings out of there.
Good luck!

DON'T ADD EPSOM SALT! That's a remedy for a magnesium deficiency exhibited later on in the plants life. You don't have a magnesium deficiency.
Like I said, I've seen plenty of seedlings like that. They always grow out of it.
I would consider getting ready to transplant into some more nutritious soil over the next couple of weeks. Otherwise it's a perfectly healthy looking seedling.

haha maybe I should stop giveing people info.
No way! It's not like you are intentionally steering anyone in the wrong direction. You threw in your 2 cents, just like I did. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Worst case scenario: Axelbro loses a 2" seedling, a week of his time but gains a shitload of knowledge.
I could definitely be wrong in saying just to wait it out but it's worked for me anytime I've seen this kind of seedling.
If no one responded he probably would have come to the same conclusion as you. All the diagnosis guides out there are so vague: "Leaves sticking up? Magnesium deficiency. Add epsom salt." That's all the info a lot of those self diagnosis guides will give you.
Knowledge comes with experience. But don't ever think that giving advice is bad. It's up to the grower to either run with the advice or question it. Either way, knowledge is being gained. ;)
