This is a picture of my plant that is two weeks old today and I'm wondering if anything seems wrong with this plant. Obviously its grown outdoors, I'm using Miracle Gro all natural organic potting soil mix, the stem got a little stretched out after we had about a half week of very cloudy weather but it seems to be straightening back out. This is in Florida so humidity is kind of on the high side. So tell me, anything wrong with this plant for being 2 weeks old?

Put it in the sun - it is just really weak and puny from not getting enough light mainly.

and is that the stem curling all around? repot it and bury the stem to make it sturdy again

Thats all? Well great, simple fix then, I'll just pay attention tomorrow and find the part out back that gets the most sunlight. Thanks.

The stretched stem is due to lack of light.

I suggest you wait a week and then transplant it to a bigger pot, taking care to stretch the stem a bit and bury it to within an inch of the lowest pair of true leaves.

One of my plants started the same way. Here's a pic of it.

It has since recovered. About seven feet tall, now.

i would recomend trying to start at least 6 seedlings. i always like to start a bunch and then pick out the strongest ones, it would really suck to spend all that time growing one just to find out its a male...just my opinion tho
