What genetic issue is going on here? Worth keeping?

Here’s my skunk auto flower at about day 11. Compared to the others started at the same time, this one is clearly stunted lol. Anyone idea at what’s going on? And is it worth keeping? I have the space but if it’s going to be a hassle then it not worth it in my eyes. Enjoy!

I'd give her two more weeks before you make the call. Those leaves were probably damaged during the sprout, I think she'll be fine after a node or two. You say stunted, how badly are we talking? What's your comparison?

Yeah, cotylodons can get caught up in a stubborn shell that refuses to leave in a timely manner, putting it days or more behind the others. Seen it happen dozens of times. Good luck!

Hope it doesn't slow her down once she establishes roots and starts being an actual plant!

Grow it out. If it persists then make the call later. But me personally I would grow it out

Here are two others for comparison. These were both germinated and planted at the same time

The weird looking skunk is rooting itself nicely within the pellet so it’s definitly growing and continuing to establish a root system. Going to transplant it today and see how she goes from there
