Don't worry Wiz, a little fuzz on your true leaf is a sign of puberty.

Wiz, What has he used on his seedlings ,any kind of fertilizers?

Id watch what you or(him) is putting on when fertilizing a young seedling espically in that early stage of growth, I had this happen to me by adding a little to much co2 and also Azos when mine was a seedling, and it burnt the tiny first true leaves right down to a nub.

Since then I feel a seedling should be geting is just a little fish and kelp up untill the 3rd or 4th truth leaf stage so this doesnt happen again to me.

I have also heard guys use lithvot on a seedling that did the exact same thing to their first true leaves. Using less is always best, just wish sometimes I would follow that rule,,lol

I have heard of a few seedlings that only produce a cot and stop at the step. We had one years ago. The tap root formed yet no leafs
