This seedling looks fine to me. I can understand wanting the very best for your plants but you have to have a little bit of patience.
What are you growing here?

In what way does florescent light give advantages to noobies? I'm not talking shit but this is the 3rd time I've seen something like this the past week and it doesn't really make sense. If you're not smart/capable enough to start a seed under LED you will probably fuck it up under floro just as easy. It's just a light source.. they make LED T5 which are great for starting seeds also.
Floro doesn't give any added benefits and low powered LED is absolutely great way to start seeds.
Edit: op if u have more seeds you may as well pop another couple because waiting on this is just time wasted. You can keep it around but if you plant another seed today or will be lapping this a week after it's above ground

Advantage of t5's for beginners is that there is no guess work, you don't have to worry about what height to place them to get the most out of the light without light burn..........unlike led's.
I place them about 3-4 inches from the top of the plants and they thrive.
3 weeks from sprout under a t5.

I start seeds with 100w LED panels... The plants can literally grow into them. All they are is low powered light sources. There are ZERO benefits with ho t5 over led tubes.. none that I can think of at least

T5's are great for starting seeds and the first few weeks of veg. For that purpose I would choose a T5 over any other light.
i just put it aside , 2 of
them are fine.what is T5?

Cost.
the benefit for me was £20 for the T5HO versus £50 for an LED panel to do the same thing.
so yeah there is a benefit. For me it was a £30 benefit.
because I only needed it to start seeds on a shelf in my storage area

That's not what they're talking about Jonda and u know it. They act like they provide the plants some secret sauce lol

I guess what they maybe trying to say is that if they’re trying to use a higher powered LED that’s where the problems might start from as with flouro you can literally have the seedlings right under it.
I’m like you, I can start seeds under my 300w LED panel at 50% and 24” etc but not while that same panel is being used for flower hence why I purchased the T5HO and the cost between the T5HO and the equivalent LED was quite a big difference.
