Worry about yourself my fiend.
ok es...i've seen your gallery and its cool man...
but did you saw in my replys the composition of my soil?
maximum humidity : 50%
organic matter: > 45%
nitrogen: 1.3%
phosphate : 1.2%
potassiun : 1.0%
calcium: 0.9%
magnesium: 0.3%
ph: 5.5 - 6.5
its the only soil i've got...
what should i do then?

Listen to grow specialist. I haven't done much growing but i've done a lot of research and that definately looks like nutrient burn. To me though that plant looks a little beyond the point of no return, the first set of leaves are mostly ruined.
If you can't get any more seeds then i suggest getting new soil without time-release nutrients. New fresh soil without time-release nutrients will help you flush it and help prevent the problem happening again. Try to transplant using as little of the old soil as possible and give it a good watering.
I do not know how well it will work but you also might want to try giving it a misting of plain water without nutrients every couple of hours(wait until the leaves are dry before misting again). The added water may help loosen up the nutrients but may cause the leaves to sag a little while... I figure at the very least it should help stop the roots from sucking up any more nutrients since there will be very little evaporation.

did you look at the tip of the leaf? there's definitely something going on. Either that or he has some crazy strain that i would definitely not want to get stuck with. A plant shouldn't be showing any major problems that young. The plant isn't really sagging so it shouldn't be overwatering and shouldn't be experiencing lack of nutrients at that young... Generally the only problems that would happen with a seedling like that is under watering or nutrient burn.
Contrary to what ES is saying, a plant that young shouldn't be needing any more nutrients... especially if there are already some present in the growing medium.

Well, E S, you continue to give out false info and when you get called on it by several more knowledgeable growers, you say they're dumb. "phosphorus deficiency" on a week-old plant! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Time to do some growing yourself, E S. as in growing up.
bmw, you've been given good answers, when there is added nutrients in the soil a young plant can get burned easily.

Newer growers need to pick up on the fact that plants are not people. People need lots of food when they are infants and as they grow up they get unhealthy with too much food and die with too little. Plants are the opposite, they need almost no food when seedlings and too little food makes them unhealthy but too much will KILL THEM. Stop thinking of the plants as people.
Growing up everyone seems to think plants need nutrients to grow so when a problem pops up they figure adding more nutrients helps, hence nutrient burn is the most common problem. Sometimes giving no nutrients feels like its neglecting a sick plant but it is often the cure... fight your instinct to feed it.
Now that it is apparent to everyone that ES just wants the plant to die... do what is smart bmw... flush the soil out to at least get rid of the nutrients you just added to it(which will only worsen the problem).
