Only cotyledons-No true leaves

I've been having an issue where seeds popped, but with only the cotyledons and no True leaves. Attached photos.
I had a small knat fly problem, could it be damage from the larvae? or just a genetic issue? too old seeds?

Give them some time, bugs happen nothing a couple squirts of neem oil or some spinosad won’t take care of.
 
I had one that was stuck like that for 2-3 weeks, then when it started growing it grew two symmetrical main stems, like it got topped before it even got started
 
Could be many things but it's not bugs.

Looks like seeds that were harvested early and not fully developed.

Nope,
seeds were all fully developed and popping out of calyxes, little project I did crossing some strains. I did find some larvae on one seed shell, so thats where my..'hypothesis' came from.
 
Update: some small true leaves have begun sprouting, so indeed a little patience was the solution.

Oh my, and here I was thinking seedlings can't take too much light. Thanks so much my man.
I guess sun burnt seedlings, light burn etc def is a myth. <3

you want the light blasting as soon as the shell cracks...
also keeps them really short...
if like you let em pop up out of soil under a flouresant light for a couple days and then put then straight under a 1000mh it might shock them
but if you start the seeds directly under the 1000mh it won't be a problem...

At what distance from the light?

Thanks for the entertainment <3
 
depends if you have a ducted hood or not...
think about it...the sun is going to have more lumens than any light...
you just are worried about heat...
