New Grower Does this 13 day old seedling look healthy?

[Murkerrr]

Hi all, this seedling has been sprouted for 13 days, and it hasn't really grown much since around day six. It's in just soil, no perlite or anything, I think I may have drowned it due to not great draining. It currently has two sets of leaves, the second pair are tiny though. The first pair are a decent size I think but are drooping downwards. There are also faint red/purplish marks around the edges of the leaves. This is my first grow and I hope I haven't messed up this early

Why didn't you add perlite? With out perlite you have to be carefull of over watering.Make sure you ph your water. They are slow growing at this point but will pick up shortly.

Not to alarm you but your plant looks stunted to me. Welcome to the club!

It shouldn't be too bad but I really can't say as I've yet to see where a stunted seedling stage leads. You might wanna keep an eye on my journal. Might help you to avoid making the mistakes I do.
A fun little attempt at aeriating the soil would be to add some earthworms into the soil, though I have no idea if they'll just try to escape the damp soil. Just don't water them for now and you should be good. Keep them nice and warm to the best of your abilities and be patient. However tempting it might be, DO NOT touch them. They'll pull through and tell you if they need anything.

All the best to you!
