Stunted seedling. Will it grow out of it?

Hey guys so I have a feminized GSC that is about week 2 from sprouting And she is seriously stunted. Though my other ones are doing fine this one is definitely having problems. I'm curious if you guys have had any experience with stunted seedlings and almost no growth after breaking soil, do they grow out of it?


She has basically looked like this for almost 2 weeks straight.20190924_114657.jpg

If its as you say, 2 weeks and no change, its time to move on. But because I think of all my plants as my babies, I would spoon her out there, and put her in a dry pot of soil, and just spoon feed her a teaspoon of tap water at her base every other day until she starts growing or actual dies, cause to me, as of right now, she looks like she is living in a pot that is way to over saturated for a little baby seedling like that.

In mine, and the seedling's defense, it was JUST watered right before the picture, where the soil was dry on the surface. And it has been cared for in the same manner as all my other plants that are doing just fine. Me being personally involved with is plant makes me wanna side with just a genetic issue. She is in a cup size plastic plant pot with 3/4 FFOF and 1/3 coco. If that makes any difference. But i've learned about over watering years ago after killing plant after plant before realizing my error. So as far as over watering goes, I can't see that being the issue here.

the soil is dry when your pot feels light, not just when the surface is dry. Looks like it will grow eventually but will be way behind the rest. Sometimes the runts end up being the best.
