Double tap root?

Lock it up before it runs away.

theres a timelapse vid on youtube of a seedling growing that had 2 taproots and one of them dominated and kept growing pulling the other one out of the ground

There are 3 options;
1) Its twins, you will get 2 plants that have the same DNA/Genetics or
2) is a freak and the tap root split in two as a defect and its one plant with two roots. One root will grow and the other should die at sometime in the plants life.
3) UFO’s dropped the seeds on earth to give us new pot.

Those are not tap roots, they are tap legs. Most likely it's not happy about how you've been treating it. Expect it to pack a small suitcase full of soil, a pb&j sammich and run away from home. It will come back though, just leave the light on.

I'll take option 3 please

Quick update.

Looks like it's going to be two plants.
Twins

I had a seed do that once, and like Loveweed420 said above, it proved to grow just fine. The smaller of the two tap roots eventually died off. I also once had a plant (from seed 2) grow out about three inches and then the single stem divided into three and developed a twist as it grew upwards. Looked like it was braided. This was after treating about 150 bag seeds (was in the late 70's) with Colchicine (doesn't do doo-doo) and got only 3 to germinate. It never did much either, but then again, I was quite new to growing, did not know $hit, and killed her B4 the harvest could happen, so I ruined it for myself, once again.
I wouldn't worry about it. If it does indeed grow 2 separate plants, they will compete with each other for the light, nutrients and room to grow. The stronger will prevail (Darwin) and should yield a stronger, more robust plant. If this does happen, IMHO, I'd kill or transplant the weaker plant elsewhere... Just my 2 cents...

It does look like 2 plants so far.

Only the strong shall survive!!



game over!

Sad. I'd have cracked the husk and separated them, potting in two different pots. At lease the one made it.

Yeah I'm happy with the one, I have another 1 at a similar stage and 2 still to show. Atleast it should be a strong plant, nature took it's course!

I had one do the same thing but I started them in a damp napkin so I seperated them. They are doing fine but one is alot smaller than the other but they already have their 3rd set of leaves. I'll post a pic as soon as I can.

Should be interesting, anyone had one like this before?

Yes I just had the same thing happen with sour diesel..and guess what? Both areally doing great..not as big as sisters but...

I just had this happen to me with a fem Gold leaf seed. hmm twins I guess, I'll wait till I can separate them and see what happens.
