What is in the soil? Doesn't look too happy....

Let your soil dry out between waterings. Overwatering is something cannabis won't tolerate. Water should be measured in ml at this point.
i used eggshells for compost and the soil is from outside so there are some leaves in it
i almost did but i had that kind of pot and it has 4 drain holes in the bottom so i figured it’d be good
What’s the volume of this pot? And why is the soil so low?

At this point? One ml at a time every day or 2. I would do what you can to aerate that soil to encourage it to dry out. Cannabis needs wet / dry cycles.
Agree with hitboy. Those need to be filled to within an inch of the top of the pot.
I would put them (very carefully) in a bigger pot so you are not forced to transplant when they are 10 days old.

What soil? I see dirt and sand. @rkay0 , you need to use good soil if you want to have a healthy plant. Dirt from the back yard isn't going to cut it unless you have some incredible soil in your yard...and that picture unfortunately shows that you don't.

Those pellets look like it might be Miracle Grow of some other time release nuted soil. Bad news. Good question!
Cannabis and MG don't get along. It nukes your plants with nutes and submarines your pH every time you water. Put 'em in a soil like Roots Organics, Black Magic, or a Fox Farm product that is buffered for cannabis.

There's definitely some MG pellets in there. There's just no soil in there. Zoom in and you will see its mostly sand and silt and there's what appears to be the neck of a clam, or a cigarette filter, right next to the sprout. They really should just start over with suitable soil.
yeah i guess i’ll be transferring it then, and there’s only one seed
true thank you

just replanted the seedling in roughly the same size put but with a higher soil level and better soil with less debris. it seems a little moist but i guess that’s something i’ll just have to deal with

That looks much better. It looks a little wet so just let it dry out before you give it anymore water.
alright thanks for your help man
