Mutant Seedlings

Is it a sign of a stressful start or anything to worry about if seedlings start growing kind of funky?

That is to say the size of the leaves dont match, or the leaves grow out looking all well mutated kind of?
Attached are 2 pics to show what I mean. The other 3 I germinated with these two look great (as in leaves look symmetrical and straight).

They first showed a taproot around Apr. 14 and were put into rapid rooter cubes on Apr. 16. I will never use those shitty cubes again (back to rockwool) because they dried out so fast that these seedlings started out a very unhealthy worrisome life as you'll see in the linked pic @ https://imgur.com/gallery/Y8r6YKr

They first started looking uh 'ok' around the 19-20th when they were transplanted into solo cups.

That's why I'm a bit worried if their uneven growth is due to the stress they experienced the very first days of their lives and why I'm worried about hermies.

Guess I should have filled all that info in first for context but yeah thats why im worried.

It’s fine. Not bad at all and not your fault. I’ve grown many of plants that started much more mutated than that and they straightened right out over time. That’s not really a mutation you have. First few sets can be funky. It’s normal

Thanks stress in veg not causing hermies is all I needed to hear, getting a bit unnecessarily paranoid. You'd almost think I was high or something :P

hermies happen to newbies a lot just accept it and grow them all out till it stops happening :-)

Gg,
I agree...not to worry. I have a seedling that did just that. One first true leave much bigger. Now I've seen twisty leaves on seedling from too much food too soon...but that's not your issue. Call it a normal abnormality.
