New Grower Today is Day 5 - should I be concerned

[_state_of_mind_]

Here is a close up picture of the plant. Today is the 5th day since she came out of the soil (with the smallest hint of true leaves). She is about 1.5 inches tall. I am just about able to spot the 2nd set of true leaves, but they seem to be curled up a bit. Also, looking at other pictures here, I am getting the sense that she is smaller than she should be at this stage. This is an outdoor grow in a coco peat + compost + soil mix in a tropical country

I would really appreciate your suggestions/advice here. This is my first grow (but an active gardener of veggies, fruits, etc).

Thank you for the reassurance - patience is a virtue, especially for a new grower

At this point most the growing is going on under ground establishing the root system and gathering energy for the push top side. Looks good.

makes sense - this is a new grow medium for me (mostly use soil + compost for veggies and other plants), so a bit more paranoid I guess

Haha, the wait is excruciating, but you have your current grow to keep you happy!

Don't know about happy, 2 hours to do weekly complete waterlog feeding.oon only 5 plants which is why I'm looking into autopots.

Here is a picture from another growers thread on here. It helped me understand whats going on when the plant is so small. Don't sweat it because the root is just exploding where you can't see:
