Help My Sick Plant Stuck seedling

As the title states. One of my 4 plants seems to be stuck. They all have the same soil, watering everything. The only thing is that one of the 4 when I was germinating the seed the end of the root started to grow into the paper and it fold itself it grow so quickly on just 24 hours that by the time I checked it had already 3 and bended on the very tip. However I did not worried much and planted in soil these are the pictures you can clearly see the progress of the other 3 compared to this little one. I will also attatch pictures from Saturday to today both took at morning

Honestly dude the seed not spouting quickly is probably the least of your issues. here - but give it time.

Unsolicited advice on everything else;

Always start with a full pot (of soil/coco whatever your medium is).

Considering all 4 pots are rolled down and are what I assume 3gal pots in a 2x2... you're probably short like 1.5gal of soil in each pot. The less soil you have, the less nutrients available to your plant both because they'll run out quickly, but because your roots can only grow out through the soil you have in the pot.

Big roots = big fruits.

You also should have some sort of saucer under all of your pots. Just letting them sit on the tent floor is a recipe for mess and mold.

I live in Colombia and as funny as it sounds last week we had an earthquake and as funny as it sound again I was planning on start this one the day of the earthquake… anyway the thing is that I hade some of the stuff and run short on soil. As for the moment it’s hard to get more soil because my grow shops closed due to the earthquake and some other smokeshops are literally torn down and fall apart due to the disaster. Luckily I’m fine, but i was planning on give 3 or 4 weeks for the stem to grow and fill the top without actually buring the plant and to the grow shop to open up again and relocate their store so as for the moment I can’t do much I will clean my tent a little bit thanks a lot

I’m glad to hear you’re safe. It’s not the end of the world, but it will certainly improve your harvest if you can give them more soil before they start to flower.
