Twins, what do I do?

[Chato]

G'day peeps,

Got a few beans sprouted and 1 of of the Mr Nice has two sprouts although 1 is much bigger than the other. Any advice or anyone seen this before? Probably fairly common but i don't often grow from seed.

thanks

She'll probably grow up to be retarded anyway.

Yeah, the lesser plant would likely be not as vigourous, at least initially, although it would be interesting to test them genetically to see if they're fraternal or identical twins...

 

Best way to remove a secondary seedling from a single pot, particularly if you have two sprouts from one seed, is to just pinch it off at the base, rather than pulling it out. Pulling it out from the cube could damage the other seedlings fragile root system, whereas pinching out will just kill the other without harming the first.

 

Happened a few times to me, but never kept the lesser seedlings.

I got one like that on my first grow, left it to grow for a bit but the leaves mutated so i chucked it
