how far away is the light from the plant and what type of light are you using ?
might be that your lights are to far from your plant therefor it's stretching !!

During the first week of vegetative growth, plants develop a strong root system. You will see signs of upward green growth too. Now it is very important to keep plants from suffering water and temp stress. Be careful and water only as needed. Seedlings get off to a slow start, but once established, growth is very rapid.

So you don't see any true serrated looking leaves. These leaves could be very small and overlooked if not up close on the plant. Some plants experience slower growth than normal during the infancy stage of the plants life. So with that being said I wouldn't worry about slow growth in the beginning. But if she is stunted there could be some environmental factors that are retarding her growth. Hope this helped you. Good luck!

Peace and positive energy to you

is it normal for the plant to be about 1-2.5 inches tall with no set of true leaves yet
Yeah, 4 days old though and my seedling leaves are already serrated and about 1/4-1/2 inch long as seen in my avatar.

Yours is just a slow starter.

Keep it under your window sill or in a window sill where the sun is shining on it, with the window being actually open.

True leaves are looking a little small bro. If you're going to put it in a window then open it.

Also, it looks like it's stretching a little.
