Dinafem Diesel (Concerns about my plant)

Okay so awhile back I'd posted about a grow I was about to conduct, but some events obstructed that. But finally as of recently I've been able to plant my first seed, and it's doing well right now; seems healthy to me, however there are a few things that have me curious. There are total of 4 leaves on my sprout right now, and two new ones are beginning to show up as well.


As you can see, the leaves lowest on the plant are shaped..Differently I guess. Is that something that should concern me? Or should I just leave them be?

My other concern, as you may also be able to see in the image, the lower part of it's stem is bent; this was not done by any forceful act or anything of that sort. Previously I had made an unwise decision of putting the seed in a large container, and the soil was about 2" away from the container's rim. So one day I propped the container at an angle so my plant could catch some more sun, but when I returned the container to it's original up-right position the plant was literally sideways. Eventually it slightly straightened up but now it's just been resting on the rim of the Solo cup I have it in currently, but it doesn't to appear to have obstructed it's growth in any way. Will the main branch straighten itself once it becomes a thick stock instead of a stem? Cause that's what I was kinda assuming what would happen. Thanks for the help in advance guys, hope I didn't pose any unintelligent questions. Here's a few more pics ;)



This strain's genetics are Northern Lights X Super Skunk. Indica dominant strain, can't wait for this beauty to get big!

Just let them grow. Don't feed them, don't 'help' them catch more rays, they have been doing this longer than you! The 'different' leaves are called cotyledons. Leave them alone. They are Power packs of plant nutrition. They contain enough energy to take your plant out of the seedling stage. It would have been nice if you had filled your solo cups to the rim, but okay. Do you have drainage holes in the bottom? Good. Now don't over water them or they'll never grow. Wet your medium well, lift the cup and feel the weight. Got it? Now don't water them again until the feel light. Not dried out until your leaves flop, just light. HTH.
 
Yes I cut small slits at the bottom of the cup. My previous container it was in didn't have drainage, and my friend told me that I needed to move it into something else otherwise the roots would become saturated. And thank you for your advice, I will be posting updates on my plant's life here in this thread (:
