Hi, this is my first grow, I have growing at the moment (Bigbud xxl and dinafem og kush), both planted at the same time, about 4 days old from now. The Big bud xxl is looking great but the dinafem og kush seems to be struggling. I germinated it via the straight to soil method, the sprout breached the soil but grew sideways, after a little inspection, it looks as if there is only sprout and only a very tiny taproot giving it no support to stand. I have replanted it with most the stem in the soil for support, is there anything else I can do to fix this?
never heard of that. maybe you planted it too shallow at first? patience though i guess. try not to mess about with it and it should develop strong roots in time

Probably that soil. Bark is a no no for cannabis. But I would continue to just water at this point it will make it or it won't. It's to fragile right now to be messing with it too much
I see, what soil should I use? I assume there's no point changing the soil on the Big Bud Xxl concidering it's doing well.
Fox farm and happy frog are 2 top choices If you don't have access to that pick out a soil with good drainage, no time release nutes, no bark, and stay away from any miracle grow product. Cannabis has the same needs at tomatoes.
