At that young age it should be growing daily and shiny. If not, it probably aborted. Your plant is pretty young and it's very early so I would just set another. From what I saw, your plant probably just needs more size to support an AG. If you can get another one set, it's probably for the better.

I'd hand pollinate everything you can going forward. I'd also remove the flower petals a day or 2 after you pollinate to prevent rot. It gets real moldy in there fast. You leave that little white button though.

Not saying to cut it, I never saw the pic. I'd make sure it is gone first.
