Can anyone identify this plant? It came up in a germination cell that

First pic upper left.

I'm thinking epazote, but I've never grown it before.

Some type of pigweed (Amaranthus sp.) and a slightly anemic
looking specimen, at that.

Aw, give it a break, it's only 4 weeks old and growing like . . .
a weed.

Pigwweeds can be hard to ID down to
species without having the mature inflorescence to look at.

Should it happily turn out to be amaranth, I'll give it a go.
