Those 2 little leaves are normal. As for your soil choice...I'm sure it was what you had on hand.

The two small leafs things are called cotyledons, they will eventually dry up and fall off. The first set of true leaves will emerge from those soon, but it will (usually) still only sprout two leaves at a time. If it sprouts more it would be a polyploid, which are pretty rare.

Yeah, that doesn't look like MJ at all to me. It looks more like a Basil seedling, but I got the winter blues so I could be wrong. Either way, GL.

Agreed. Looks like fresh herbs, or mint.

I meant usually two leaves for cannabis, and polyploidism also being pretty rare for cannabis. It's not really rare in all of the plant kingdom.

Those are starter leaves. Just enough to take in a tiny bit of energy to start development of the plant. They will fall off after a few weeks. Congrats on your little seedling!
