Sometimes it happens. Wouldn't worry about anything yet. It or she looks like a regular sproutlette to me.

No experience with hydro but I think your ph might be a little high. Hopefully a hydro pro will chime in here.
As far as I know with hydro and coco, you need to feed daily. Maybe start at 1/4 strength at first? I normally wouldn't feed a seedling that small but I grow in organic soil. Hope you get some better answers than I can offer.

You need to give her mild nutrients about 300 ppm's to start.
At 5.8 ph in Hydro.
Gradually raise the ppm's as she grows.
She will be fine.

Nice to meet you and Lerugged as well
don't feed until you get a set of trues happening. feeding with just the cots alone is a recipe to burn it up.
only thing it needs right now is a little water with some weak cal mag, and patience. if you don't use RO you may not even want the calmag. for very early seedlings i usually made a feed mix at 1/2 or 1/4 the recommended seedling strength.
AN are good nutes but a bit expensive and very finicky for new growers. dwc and rdwc is probably the toughest thing for a new grower to learn. you may want to reconsider if you haven't geared up yet. active hydro is also the most expensive way to get into the life.

Hey Bluter thanks for the feedback i have the equipment attaching fotos, what about ph my tap is around 6.2 6.3 ppm around .045 I talked tô AN and they Said tô start feeding até the Second set of true leaves also heard people starting now not as easy as it looks lol I swear Ive been overwhelmed
With all the info.
hydro needs ph to 5.8 every time. .045 is probably an ec and is not a ppm. you might want to figure out what you are reading on your ppm meter. 0.045 is super low, like RO low, i'm not confident you are reporting that figure correct.
if you don't have RO and have your heart set on active hydro you will probably need to buy an RO filter. it will save you months of heartache.
not a big fan of that style of mylar sheeting. if you've ever seen a mylar balloon touch fire you'd know why. i stay away from that and panda film. the best thing on the walls would be plain flat non-gloss white paint, which looks like you've covered over.
you are also gonna need a way to raise and lower the light.

Hey Bluter im using a ppm meter on a .5 scale im in Brazil our tap water is real different here, i was in doubt about the mylar sheets but its só damn hot here i heard It helps maintain the temp which is actually right now the coolest Room of the house. Luckily i do have a way tô raise lower the lights.
Can i use my ph up and down tô regulate the water até this stage?

You should bring that ph down to like 5.5-5.8.
I totally agree with @bluter that you need to get an RO system.
I know that the water in Brazil isn't that good so you should consider the RO system.

if your ec is .45 and not .045 it would make more sense. you'd be around 300 ppm and very much in need of an RO filter.
you can ph the tap. it's not so important at this stage but will be soon. i would encourage you to consider trying any other media. active hydro is a massivley steep learning curve for new guys. very low rates of success on first grows.
whatever you do read up on the different styles. you might wanna try that sips approach, as there are a bunch using it, it's cheap to set up and run, and there is currently piles of support for it on the board.

Ill do some searching on the forums here, appreciate the advice
hard to maintain a temp with the house on fire lol
edit : @rillo954 - go have a look at the sips thread. it may be a better way for you to get into the life. can always still go hydro anytime.

Lmao most definetly
Here is the meter I was talking about its Reading 045 in my houses water from the faucets and 000 in distilled water.
if that's reading a true 45ppm then you are good for hydro as far as water. anything under 120ppm is doable. my RO sits at 7ppm.
