so this plant is about 2 weeks old does it look okay or am I doing something wrong?, I know the leaves go to right/ left but thats because light comes that way, i turn the plant so that it goes straight and repeat.

it appears to be stretching for the light you need to bring the light closer

Also replant those stretchy stems., You can bury the stem all the way to the cotyledon leaves

I'm not sure what's effecting it's slow growth because you didn't provide any additional information, but here's a comparison for you. 2 weeks old.

Looks like your soil doesn't have good drainage, plus to big of a pot., I start them in party cups

Would you recommend me putting the plant into a smaller pot or just put it back into the same one? Also do I have to get different soil? (Dont really have the money for it)

You never said what soil is that., I will mix a batch with perlite and transplant., Get any cheap potting soil and mix it with perlite., Have u checked the ph?

Sadly enough could not find such information, I can however provide a link of the soil(It is a Dutch site so I hope it will be in English for you)
