Ok, I started out with bag seed. I have never grown before but have been exposed to several people with great info and experiance early on in life....
I took 8 seeds, 4 from one batch and 4 from another, and only 4 from one barch sprouted in germanation. I took them all oursice and planted all 8 seeds into a planter. Then got onto the boards here and started asking questions. I was advised to move the 4 that were growing away from eachother instead of having them right there all growing out of the same hole in the dirt. So I went and got a big bag of Miricle Gro soil and got rid of the soil that was in a larger planter and replaced it with the MG soil, and transplanted three of the four from the one planter to the new bigger one, and spaced them out. I them temperarily transfered the remaining one to the new so I could replace the soil there too, and then moved it back. Within two days, the center seedling in the larger planter seemed to pull itself out of the siol and died, so i was left with 3 total, one in a single planter and 2 in the larger planter. They were growing well and then I believe my 22 month old son got to the larger planter and topped one of the seedlings and took everything off except the bottom node, and as it is right now, the seedling is starting to sprout a new node so I think she is going to live. Then two days later he did the same thing to the other seedling in the larger planter.... it is just now starting to sprout a new node.... the one by itself is doing ok, but the lower leaves are turning yellowish, and brown around the edges.... is this indicitive of too much watering? or not enough?
Pix are of the first one my son topped, then the other one, then the single.... Any and all constructive criticizm is welcome....

More close up of the larger single seedling....

I have stopped watering durring the day, and am only watering them once the sun goes down. Hopefully this will help them out some.

Just took these pix.
I am numbering these 1 2 and 3.
Number 1 is the one that was topped first.
Number 2 is the one that was topped a few days later,
And number 3 is the one that has been left alone.....

these are pix of number one:

these are pix of plant 2

[serpentine5]

This is a pic of 1 and 2.... 1 being on the right and 2 on the left.
These were germanated and planted at the same time. And topped 2 days apart.... big differance in these two....

[serpentine5]

And here is number 3 that was germanated and planted at the same time as 1 & 2..... still having a problem with the lower leaves yellowing on me. I have been watering then at night when the sun is down hoping that would help with the yellowing but it has had no effect as yet.

Here are pix of my babies as of tonight.... Plant 1 is getting as big as plant 3, but plant 2 is still growing small... remember, plant 1 was clipped, and then plant 2 was clipped a few days later.... but 3 was never touched...
Here is a pic of plant 1:
