Okay so I'm VERY new at this so bare with me.

I germinated 2 seeds, one didn't survive, the other one took off. It was growing great and even ended up getting 4 little baby leaves! But it hasn't really done much since the leaves grew, the stem it's self is very long, and might have a break down by the soil. Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong ? Or does is normally take this long? It's been about 2 1/2 weeks.
I've posted a picture, hopefully you all can see it
Thanks in advance for all helpful advise!

Well for one you need more light, that's why it's so stretchy. Where are you planning on growing it? The seedling stage is very slow so just be patient.
Water with a dropper or something, they don't like too much water, number one killer of seedlings is too muchwater. But definitely get it to a sunnier position and that will slow down the stretch.
Good luck and welcome to your first grow.

Seedlings like a lot of light.

I will be growing it inside, should I get stronger wattage for more light?

Waaaaaay stronger wattage if you want that seedling to strengthen up and stop stretching its neck to see the light. Also get a fan blowing on that stem( once it strengthens up a little first) that will toughen it some, and seedlings don't want to be cold or constantly damp or they grow very slowly, very slowly lol

is that even doable now? the smallest pocket fan seems too much for that.

If you are brave, a blue / white CFL 4 inches from the leaves will make it bulk and not stretch

Hopefully! Honestly how sketchy is it to order seeds online? I just don't want people knowing my business.

I would suggest taking some of the soil and making a mound around the stem. Only an inch or so high. Will help support the stem somwhat. Typically seedlings stretch to reach light. Whatever your light is I would lower it (or raise your plant).

Good luck.

Siren i bought a 5 pack of White Amnesia off Ministry of Cannabis's website, i was quite skeptical as well but i got exactly what i ordered about 5-7 days after ordering, im growing them now, 1 out of the 5 didnt survive the seedling stage but the rest are growing beautifully so as far as ordering online idk about other sides but MoC seems to be okay. they ship out of Barcelona.
