Why is my seedling like this

It's not doing great, for 1 week old, should be farther along, but it still has decent color. At first blush, I'd say it is getting too much water, and it should be reaching for the light. What kind of soil and lighting are you using (how far above the plant)?

I'm using foxfarm and the light is 60 watt led light I have a 1000 watt led I'm using but I didn't want to put this with my other seedlings just in case it's damping off didn't want it to spread to my other plants

It’s not contagious
It’s from being too wet or high humidity
And a soil with food in it is a terrible way to start sprouts
Crank up the light and stop wetting it

It's been one week and my seedling is still pointed sideways and I'm wondering if it's dying

Is the seedling in a styrofoam cup?
Does it have drainage? Is it soaked and heavy? Do you have a heat mat to help the dry back? What is your humidity at? How far is the 60Watt light from the canopy?
when you say you’re using fox farm is that nutes? Medium? Thanks.

Water when light to the weight when you pick it up.

Seedling Stage: Seedlings or clones, little cut-off pieces from a parent plant that needs to develop roots, require high humidity levels between 65 and 70 percent. These high humidity levels are needed because the root system is not established and humidity allows water intake through the plants' leaves.

Dude I was kidding around I wasn't being defensive and how long should I wait to water it again?

Check it by weight as it matures but for now about five days wet one side of the cup wait another five and wet the other that way it builds roots in soil moisture it prefers
Not scientific but it is easy
