This is Day 2 of sprout, just noticed there was hole in my seedling leaf? I havent seen any pests. Im going to continue to grow, but any reason this could be?

I can’t remember if you are indoors or out but it could be a lot of things. Abrasion damage, bugs, nutritional (nutritional seems like a long shot given how young it is unless maybe the soil was super hot to start). On the plus side it is just a cotyledon leaf (the first set of smooth leaves you see) so they were going to very shortly die and fall off anyways. They basically just bootstrap the plant out of the seed and get it started, until the main leaves start to grow. Actually, it is possibly just the first stage of those leaves dying. Keep an eye on things but don’t panic yet.
 
If it could be from soil being too hot, I would say that. Before I moved it into the tent (before it even broke soil) I had a lamp on it that was super hot to the touch. Probably had it too close to the pot and the heat made the soil warm. If you mean hot from nutes, then opps. I havent fed it any, just straight water. pH somewhere between 6-6.5. Thank you so much!
 
Sorry, my bad for using slang. Hot soil is soil with too many nutrients in it so you would effectively ‘burn’ your plant, although not with heat. I don’t really think it is that. I suspect it is either a physically damaged leaf (a small abrasion or something) or just the beginning of your cotyledon leafs dying off (which is normal).EDIT: sorry, forgot about bugs. Could definitely be that, which was why I asked about indoor/outdoor - more likely obviously if they are outdoors but still possible indoors (especially in natural soil).
 
No worries, I did notice the soil was hot to the touch before I moved her. I grow in a tent, but ive had a plastic pitcher over the seed acting as a dome, so I didnt think bugs could be the reason for it ( but who knows). She has grown a lot since yesterday, so I dont think this will keep her down
