Seedling has sprouted for at least 2 weeks but has stalled growth and leaf development. Any suggestions on why this has happened, and/or how to nudge it back into growth?

in my experience of growing in soilless mediums. That plant was soaked to long before planting or the medium around the plant is to wet and it has been drowned a bit. maybe the soil is to hot "to many nutes", but i don't think so. Best thing you can do is keep temps up around 27/28 to help evaporate the extra moisture in the pot. lower back to 24-26 when its dry. keep airflow up to encourage more evaporation, but do not place the fan directly on the seeding just yet. Keep lights on medium/low as the plants in shock, back to high when it starts to show solid unmutated leaves. This plant will be stunted and behind by a week or two because of this if you decide to keep it. as a seeding, I never water till it comes out of the bottom of the pot. Soilless mediums will take up to much water for the newly sprouted seedlings, just to moist. Use humidity domes when you can, ideal is around 70-80% for seedlings. weening off to 55-60% then 45% I mix/water my soil before placing it in the pots to get the correct ratio I like also known as field capacity to me. moist but when squeezing it but no water comes out. perfect for seedlings. lots of air between the roots and medium, not packed tight - light and fluffy, high humidity keeps it from drying out. best of luck

Dump and start again... Should be further along. Keep pH in soil between 6-7. Always check pH after adding nutes to water. Don't worry about run off, just water with pH 6-7 until you have runoff. Always allow soil to dry the first few inches from top before watering again. Seedlings need moist soil at all times but now flooded. Add Humic acids to help breakdown unhealthy roots and keep soil healthy. Remember to add calmag if you are in a soft water area or using RO/deionised water. They like lots of light so make sure to give them enough. Good luck

Controlla il ph dell'acqua,è molto importante. all'inizio 5.5 poi 6.8 circa. Sembra anche che il terriccio sia pregno d'acqua,non va bene,le radici stanno bene all'umido,non nel bagnato. Buona fortuna 👊🏽🍀
