hi, i was wondering if i am wasting my time to grow this purple ryder seedling, i have bought 10 seeds from a supplier , most of them didnt germinate and the ones they do they get sick or die after this stage, i had another one that did not leaf anymore after true leaf and died, this one true leaves looks bend and the first set of leafs are the shape as you see in the picture, but a strange thing is the two other leaves that are growing from underneath the true leaves which i cant understand. this small plant is almost a month old.

That’s a lot of water for a little plant. Your drowning them.

It's probably just a mutation and will more then likely start growing normal after awhile as long as your patient with it and don't drowned or fry it from over feeding.. Did you make the mix? If so you'll probably end up with a ph problem ..that's if you didn't add a buffer ..

Other then the obvious wet soil, the inward curl( the claw)of the leaves are saying it's having issues transpireing properly.. I. e. The plant can't sweat or breath properly..
There are a couple causes of this to happen.. One is the soil being to wet or not draining properly .. Peat based and coco based mixes usually stay wet for long periods and need to be used with pots that drain well.. Most people use fabric pots with these types of substrate...
