it wont grow
You need patience, the plant is working on the roots at this point of its life. When the roots are established and strong, then the plant can concentrate on growing upward.

Also I find that seedlings do not like a hot soil. I usually use something like FFOF mixed with coir on the 2 or 3 inch starter pots. When the seedlings have established roots, and are ready to repot into larger homes, then I can plant straight into a potting mix like Fox Farm Ocean Forest.
DO NOT attempt to feed seedlings, as you can do more harm then good by burning them with excess nitrogen that they do not need at this point in their lives. They can get all they need out of the potting soil. I personally do not add any nutriants at all until after I flip to 12/12. as the soil I use has everything it needs for the first 6 weeks of its life.
Just my own opinion
