I'm using organic soil. I water the plant once yesterday and in a 5 gallon bucket. It once a day or once a day. Also it has been in the soil for 2 weeks and 1 day this one has been in dirt 2 weeks
This plant has been in soil for about 2 weeks and 1 days longYou mean the seed was in soil for 2 weeks? Those plants look like they're a day or two above soil.
You are watering incorrectly. Water thoroughly, not just around the stem — the whole pot should be damp by the time you're done watering. Then water when the pot feels light and the soil is nearly dry. With plants that size, it could be 5 days to a week before they need water again.
Cannabis roots need plenty of oxygen as well as water. If you water every day or every couple of days, the roots will have problems and can die.

Agreed Best suggestion so farYou want to start your seed in a smaller container first. Ideally you want to water the whole container until completely damp, and then wait for it to dry all the way out so it's light and airy, and then water until completely damp, then dry... Don't try to water on a schedule, it will lead to overwatering. Seedlings in big pots are hard to water because they can't take up all the water in a completely damp large pot, and of you don't water the whole pot, the roots won't venture into whole pot. I would scoop those seedlings out and put them in well draining cups, let them dry out and read up on watering practices.
I always germ right in the cup out of the gate. If it grows it grows, if not drop another bean.One other thing. In my experience seedlings come up tougher if you plant them right in the dirt like seeds. The paper towel thing is how people get leggy little complainers.
The root gets started and then if you wait an extra day or 2 it starts sinking those little side hairs into the paper towel like thats gonna be it's home. And then you rip the roots from the paper towel and they feel stuck like velcro a little bit. Nobody talks about it but thats a good way to shock your plants right from the get go.
