    2 seedlings in 1 seed?

    so what do we do?...about the freak? I say there are two schools, of thought here.

    1. Mother Nature punishes freaks.

    2. mother nature doesn't evolve without freaks of nature.

    What's in your wallet? What would you do????

    yes they all look alittle stretched for some reason. i do however have plenty of light for them as i have them under a 400w hps its around 16 inches away, perhaps i should move it a little closer

    Have you got a little fan on them? They need to strengthen their cute little stems. Sounds strange how they could stretch under the 400......I usually leave em under a shop light until they get a few leaves. You can really put the light right on top of them to keep them from stretching. I had some once that stretched and the stems were weak, so I propped em up with chopsticks. Hope I'm not being bossy or anything, just trying to help....

    The moral of this story is: Always ask for chopsticks at chinese restaurant...

    no not at all, i appreciate it when someone takes some of their own time to help me out, ive been thinking about putting a fan on them and lowering the light and when i transplant i will probably bury the stems under the soil up to the cotyledons.

    EEKK! I don't recommend planting them up to the cotelydons. If they need support, fine, a fan will butch them up! If you plant that deep, it may cause the stem to rot.

    You can support with a toothpick, Q-tip or my favorite the chop stick. If they are holding up their own heads under a light breeze, just leave em alone! They will get stronger and stronger and soon need no support.

    The twins will probably fight for space in one pot and it may mean poor growth for both of them. It isn't as traumatic as it may sound to separate them. When I did it there were two tiny but distinctly individual root systems. It's obviously up to you but if you do go for it, it is better to do it sooner rather than later.

    I got a bit of stretch from my seedlings too, I buried up to about 1cm below the cotyledons, which I believe is only really OK to do early on when the stem is thin and soft, after which rot is a concern. I second the fan idea. It will toughen them up.

    1. If I had several plants?...I'd let it grow. 2. If I had only 1-3 plants?..I'd snip off the weak one, at the soil line.
