Looks to me like she's damping off. How much are you watering? This could just be that the soil is soaked and the seedling wont take root. You can take it out of there, delicately as if this is the finest puntang ever, try to get it some air and then replant.
I like to let my little ladies get to the point of almost dried out before watering again. This way the roots can run down deeper.

I'm just a newb too so hopefully some of the pros will have mercy on you.

...it doesn't look too bad thus far....let your soil dry out before you rewater. Typically, growers put seedlings into really small pots until the root system is established....then you transplant into a larger pot. Putting a seed into a large pot from the start can be tricky to water...the water can cause the soil at the bottom of the pot to stay too wet since the seed doesn't have many roots to drink from down there.

the cotyledons will curl down like that(the two leaves you see now), those are feeder leaves that give your seedling the nutrients it needs to take root...only water the soil when you need to...and you can put a small ziplock or sandwich bag or cut off plastic bottle over the top of it to make a humidity dome for it.

The plant will be a week tomorrow, should it be bigger? I dont know but it might be because of the strain it might be smaller, I noticed that easy kush grow I had before wasnt as tall as this big buddah cheese using same lights and compost etc
