Soggy and I assume straight peat causing pH to be too low.

I had just watered it prior to the photo. Here's a pic of the other that seems to be doing ok.
Guess I'll test the ph of the runoff? Will have to wait until the pellet does out again.

relax. sometimes seed schucks stick to to a forming leaf, as it grows it deforms, sometimes a damaged root system can report this way too. no worries, put her in some dirt, feed her well

Most peat is in the 5.0-5.5 range. These are fine to get them started, but once they pop out, they need to be transplanted. Peat also holds water a very long time and can stunt roots by lack of oxygen.
You might also have a dud.

^ this, tranplant that into some coco or soil and let it dry out a little, bet it'll recover fine

Thanks folks! I'll transplant and cross my fingers.
