Yes but only with very old seeds they grew outta it eventually hopefully yours do too

I’ve seen some plants start out pretty odd, and I usually attribute it to damage from not shedding the seed coat cleanly. I have a special affinity for the weird ones. I’ll be rooting for this little 3 legged dog.
This plant shed the seed coat cleanly, though. I attribute this plant's mutations to being old seeds, but only time will tell if it's a mutant. New growth is putting out true leaves now, but they are asymmetrical. I'd put money on it that it will flower out, though. I'll take a pic when there's more of an update.

Personally sprouts like this are why. I start a few extra seeds. Grown my fair share of mutant, slow and strange seedlings. To know almost always a waste of time. I turf them always now. Usually got weak roots anyhow. Imho.

I’ve got a picture of a mutant on my old phone that grew out normally and it’s the best plant I currently have (stinkiest and tastiest one out of the 3 females I flowered from that pack). Some of the major breeders also caution against throwing out the mutants, because they can sometimes be special. Smoke test is still the most important one. I’m making F2s of it with my next project.
Let's see... for this grow I sowed >20 seeds

I've had that happen a few times...everything starts out fine...but then the first serrated leaves don't want to form. It seems to be just a genetic aberration. For a seedling that's two weeks old, it looks very small. It won't hurt anything to give it a chance to grow out of it, but it might just be a stunted plant that's never going to catch up.

How are these turning out?
I got a couple that look like yours, just starting to grow out of it. When they popped, I didn't think they'd make it.
Only planted two seeds from the pack and they both did this. I am usually fast to cull, but not these two for some reason.
