Gets nutes from seed in the early stage so you don't need to add any. Looks like you're killing it with kindness.

Notice how the leaves are curling down? Looks like it's over watered to me.

Just rinse it out next time it needs water. And not too much water. Let the container get really light before watering.

The cotyledons are fine the plant is doing the same thing with them as it is with those first leaves: sucking the energy/ stored energy out and getting ready to drop them since they wont help it anymore. Also like grorite said get some perlite or another drainage promoting material in your mix if/ when you transplant again. When you do that you could also bury the plant up to where the cotyledons are/ were to keep it from being so lanky. The buried stem will eventually turn into part of the root system.

Don't even think about feeding it for at least 3 weeks.

Leave the nutes alone for awhile. Just grow 'au naturel' and you will be rewarded with a lush, green biatch!!
