It's using it's energy to grow roots. Just leave it be. It'll start growing soon.

Also, use very little light. A single 23w cfl is enough for a start. So, turn your lights down, raise them up, until she's starting to grow, then increase lights over time.

It's not as important right now, but when she starts consuming nutrients, you'll want to get your pH down to around 5.8 to 6.0

Wait you said the water is touching the bottom of the rapid rooter? Is the rapid rooter in a net pot with hydroton? If it is.
lower the water so the bubbles burst and just hit the bottom of the net pot. Im guessing you are just soaking the rooter

Got pics

Oh dude, she's waaaay too small to be in the hydroton. What you need to do is hand-water the little one, until she's bigger. That means hydrating the hydroton right around her, so she can drink. NO NUTES YET! Too early, and too high of ppm. She's still feeding off the stored energy it had in the seed.

Read up on starts.
