Someone please confirm my hypothesis:

you're right, here are some pics (shitty quality since taken with phone cam):

if you look hard enough you can see the first 3 blade leaf at the top. some weird growth on this one, whorled phyllotaxy for sure.

and i got another problem i was hoping you could help me diagnose

btw, that's a 1 day sprout, growing in coco, can you fucking believe it?? it sprouted out the ground this morning
and i wanted you to see the cotyledons are curled inwards even though the green seems to be fine
i did end up flushing the coco this afternoon with some tap water to reach a more neutral ph then ran about 500mL
of nutrient solution pH'd to 6-6.5 and i did that until the ph of the runoff was the same color reacting to the reagent as
was the feed solution

let me clear up the part about my 1 day old seedling:

after it popped out of the ground it was growing fine. i wanted to make sure the ph was
on point so i ran some nutrient solution through it and the runoff came to about pH5-5.5
so, i used a few cups of plain tap water until the runoff became pH6.5-7 then ran some nutrient solution through
it again until the pH of the run off was the same as the nutrient solution's pH which was around pH5.5-6
and now i've noticed that the cotyledons are curling down

from what i've read it's overwatering but i don't understand, it can't be since i'm using coco as well i have many holes
on the bottom of the container to allow air flow through the medium from the top then out the bottom or vice versa
what would you think it is?
and i used a very light nutrient solution, recommended dosage for seedlings according to the container instructions

Since it seems Stinky helped you out, I'll just give you these for future reference:

I definitely dig the second page. It explains things easily and clearly. For the first plant: You're not using a pre-nuted soil are ya? Also, it looks decently deep in that Solo cup, maybe a half inch/inch down? If so, repot and raise her, or add a fan; maybe she's not getting enough airflow. The second, chill out on the water and skip the fert for now. She's growing a root system right now and living off the cotyledons. Don't fertilize until at least the cotyedons die off.

oh god what's wrong with me, i keep forgetting to add the details
i forgot to mention coco grow im not treating it like soil since it's basically a hand
watered hydro setup

Don't ever let coco dry out completely.
If you aren't using a very high quality coco, it needs to be well-rinsed before use to remove excess salts. That can cause symptoms similar to what you are seeing in extreme cases.
Use coco-specific nutes on the stuff, or at the very least, add calmag plus to your routine even if you aren't using ro water. It scavenges calcium and can cause trouble.

i've come to realize why my problems appeared so quickly and hard to get rid of is the fact
that i used yeast and sugar to create co2 and i've read many times before that it speeds
up the plant's metabolism so that must be why the problem was so bad right away
