Slow seedling growth

So, my seedling looks green and healthy but only has one set of leaves after one week of it coming through the soil. They are a very tiny set of serrated leaves. Is this normal or has it been stunted?

Quite normal. There is a lot going on under the surface right now. Soon you will see the “explosive” growth spurt. :wink:

I just uploaded a side view and a zoomed in top view. Please let me know if this is normal.

Its normal, but i might suggest lowering the light so she wont stretch as much seeking light

Agree with this. Get the light a little closer and observe how it reacts. You will need to adjust the distance to suit the plant. If it gets too tall and wants to lean over, just add a little soil around it.
Your sprout looks healthy and normal. :white_check_mark:

Here is a 9 day old one in a solo cup.

She’s building a solid root system first… a must have before any real growth spurts.
