Albino seedling?

This Chocolope seedling from a bought seed took a lot longer to sprout that seed from my own crosses last year, and I was about to give up. I was pleased to see the little seedling finally spring up, but the cotyledon leaves look almost white — like an albino. My others have all been green compared to this. Does this have something with its problems germinating and will it recover or is it likely stunted already?

It will probably be ok.
They are not using photosynthesis yet, dont over think it until it has fully opend up :rolleyes:
Just as an update, it’s greened up a bit but the edges of the cotyledons still look ragged and discolored. I’ve got 3 of these chocolope seeds left and I’m debating whether to start another one since this guy is acting funny. On one hand, I’d hate to unnecessarily use another expensive feminized seed. On the other, it would suck having to do so in a couple weeks anyway when this poor fucker is obviously stunted.

I think it will be ok but i know what you are saying. I always sprout extra when in doubt. If you dont use it im sure you have a friend that would take it as a gift.

Weirdly, I’ve studied it and it appears to lack any true leaves — others I’ve sprouted had them almost immediately. This thing is deformed so I’ll be starting another one just in case.
