Your plant is very stretchy, needs to be closer to. or have better light. They look overwatered. Also, next time fill the cups all the way up, that’s part of the problem. When you transplant them, bury that stem almost up to the cotyledons.
pack some more media around the stems and get it closer to the light or get it under better light.

No, I was referencing the far left cup in the top photo, the seedling that didn’t make it. It’s called damping off disease
they all could use immediate help.
To me, no, it is still alive. Once "damping off disease" sets in the stem will start to shrink, shrivel up and sometimes change color as it becomes weak. Then the plant falls over. So far it looks like a case of a skinny stem caused by not enough light from being too far away or just weak light levels.
It is normal for some plants to stretch a bit right after they sprout if they are indoors. Carefully put a bit more soil around each stem, just a table spoon or so. It will help. Then when the next transplant time comes up be sure to properly bury the root ball so it is deep enough that the main section of stem is supported.
Aww crap!!! Yep major apologies my dudes & dudettes on that one seedling, my eyes are bad and I thought she was a goner. To me it looked like she was already taking the real dirt nap, totally my bad
After zooming up she’s more than ok. Thanks Smoking you always rock!!!
I’m so sorry for getting it wrong mrwdd

It is the weakest of the bunch. With that long stem and really small cotyledons and first true leaves it has about a 50% chance at best of pulling through compared to the others.
With the damp/wet soil and the lack of air movement or ventilation all the small plants have a chance of damping off.

Maybe a little wind would help. not much just enough to make em wiggle a bit. Best of luck

Like mentioned above you need some wind on them to help stiffen up the stems.
first thing is just get them supported with a little more media. those cups should always be filled closer to the top right from planting.
get the stems supported.
get the stems supported.
Fill your cups.My 2 plant is leaning on cup. Is that okay??
And 1 is dead i guess? Or still have hope for the skinny one?
Give her support and more light.
She is trying ti find it that's why she 8s stretching.
Stay safe

Not a problem. Never hurts to have re-enforcement on ideas and suggestions.
What are you using as the light source and how far is the light from the plants? The stems of the plants have stretched to the light source indicating more light is required.

Using 730w spyder farm light
And abt 2.5ft away.
I think it was overwater. Now my plant seems healthy and good

Mine started off all weird n wiggly at first, just get a good light about 4 inches above it and definitely add some dirt. I've learned to fill it to the tip top of anything I plant in. And when the stem thickens it'll straighten up. Otherwise they look like they want to live. Happy growing
