Hi guys. I just wanted to check with you because my seedling's stem doesn't look completely straight. It sort of has a slight curve half way up the stem. Not sure if it's normal since it's still young. 5 days since it popped out of the soil. I included some photos as well. Thanks

No biggie. Just a bit stretched. Give it some more light next time and you won't have issues.
The longer the stem is, the easier it is for it to deviate from a vertical orientation.

Some air flow to strengthen stem is all I can think of to say like some had mentioned to me. Little bit though, not much. I had a tall growing sativa variant fall over its main stem. Made others grow thicker colas though and more resin. Not sure what this strain is.

That stretch and little bend can be taken care of at transplant. Just plant it deeper.
To keep from having that problem only fill your starting pot about 2/3 full and add more as it stretches.
It could use a little more light.
