is that the root?

New grower..I have two 6 day old sprouts that I have a question about. First for the one that is growing, is that the root growing out above the soil? and if so how can this be corrected? as for the second question, since I saw no sprout after 6 days I went and dug through the soil to see if there was any growth and found that..just wanted a second set of eyes to confirm that seed is indeed dead.

The picture on the left is the seed popping out the soil. The picture in the right looks like (2) sprouts. I can see the tall spout on the left, and what appears to be another sprout folded up close to the soil on the right of the picture. You can see the cotyledons. Did you plant (2) seeds in one container?

lmfao its not dead but if you keep fucking with it, it will be haha... thats not the root.. dont plant them so close next time.. keep them in seperate pots... you should actually try to water it then seperate the two... transplant one into another pot.. be gentle and you will be fine. Good luck

Oh sorry for the confusion lol..they're growing in 2 separate pots..I'll give the one in the seed casing a little more time..but after going on 7 days in soil..don't you think I'm pressing my luck hoping for a plant? Just curious.

Oh hold up you're talking about the one pot that looks like something else coming out of the soil..nope not two plants...unless the seed gave birth to a set of twins. I only put in one seed per pot which is why I'm so curious as to what that other growth is..

Its possible, I'm not sure what that's called when a seed does that, two eggs in one seeds. Same as twins in animals. I can see that happening ever so often. I believe you. Interesting.

Yep that's twins, make sure you get a 7-10 gallon pot...you want ample root growth with twins and she will drink more. That is if one isn't killed off by the other

Just FYI after some research I discovered that twins, while uncommon, can occur with hybrid strains..which is indeed what I am growing. It's only been growing for a week so I'm going to let it veg for a while and see what happens with it.

How did you separate them? I want them to survive but I don't want to end up killing both plants..especially the larger one. I've already lost enough babies thus far on this first growing experience smh..this is the first one I have going right

pry them up out of the soil carefully and replant each into it's own small container. i used 4" pots but you can go to as much as 6".i wouldn't plant in 3gal or 5gal. wait until they grow then repot. it really isn't a hard thing to do. just be very delicate with the little seedlings. you'll be ok.
