Planting seeds too deep

I planted my seeds too deep, but I didnt realize it for like 3 or 4 days. So I decided to kinda dig around where I planted the mj seeds, and I found that they sprouted under the dirt. So I moved dirt off of it. The stem is stalky still the leaves are kinda brownish color. But the stem looks strong still. Will these survive, or will they end up dieing. I have hope for them they're great seeds sour diesel from homegrown cannabis. Plz could someone help me out?

Dont dig for sprouts. They will reach the surface on their own.
Your plants will probably be fine.

I've never heard of seeds sprouting leaves under the soil.

I didn't actually dig for them I guess I should of reworded it better. I just moved the dirt around lightly. Til I saw the sprout. Then left it alone, but I'm glad I did it would of taken awhile for it to come up it might off died off by then,but thanx for the tips.they actually opend up since yesterday looking pretty good so far. Developed the 1st leaves.

You're right they do look off. Natural light pictures would help determine what's exactly going on. What's that soil? Looks pretty mulchy and a bit too woody for cannabis. Also looks a bit wet, and retaining too much water. What's the drainage like?

It is mulchy too that's what I thought. Drainage not too bad. Probly could b better. When I pick it up it's heavy even dry. So u think if I bought diff. Soil and transplanted it. Would it come back or u think it's too far gone.

I can't remember the name, but yeah I found out that's what is the main problem. What would u recommend?
Depends where you're at.

Any decent container potting soil that doesn't have timed release nutrients. That could be Fox Farms, Black Gold, or whatever is available in your area/country.

You'd have an easier time with it in a smaller container too, while learning how to water properly. Easy for a new grower to overwater a seedling in a large pot.
