I have some 5 day old seedlings, not the best picture but if look close at the left one the true leaves are seem to be out growing the stem. I thought at first it could just be a lighting issue but it’s the only one with this problem. Tried turning, no luck leaves just get bigger and lower to the coco. Normal and will grow out of it, or needs attention now??

So nothing really seems wrong imo. At 5 days old they just seem a hair short. That could be a number of things like genetics, or the light may be to bright or too close, so no need to stretch towards it. Could be a little cold making it grow a little slower etc. It really seems just fine to me though, this is me at 7 days, its only about 2 inches tall maybe 3.

And just so you know when you attach an image to a post you can "insert" it as a full image and it will post in full resolution on the post itself.
 
I appreciate the help, first post in here I was wondering if I did that right my bad. I figured I was probably over thinking it, nice to have another set of eyes. Thank you.
 
Your plantis fine. I just had 2 grow on me and the stem never really left the ground! I swear it kjust decided not to go upwards. I ended up topping it at the 3rd node due to being so short. It ended up being a huge plant and the stem at the end of the grow was over 1.1 inches in diameter. It happens.
 
They look normal to me. Make sure you feed them every day because you’re in coco. I feed mine full strength starting on the day they sprout and this was day 6 of my current grow, no signs of overfeed just happiness 🙂

Ok thanks I appreciate the advice, I have just been doing a quarter or the recommended twice a week. Sounds I like I need to starts stepping that up. Thank you.
 
Whether you go 1/4 strength (like many do) or full strength just make sure it’s every day. Coco is inert so they’re only feeding on what you give them and they can’t grow if they’re not being fed.
