I have a two week old, two inches tall, plant being grown outdoors in a small clay pot... when it first appeared out of the ground the stem was slightly "s" shaped.. after a day or two it began to straighten out but when the curved part of the stem grew a little taller, what appeared to be a curve in the stem, now looks a helll of a lot more like a big bug bite.. the leaves and stem closest to the plant still appear completely healthy but the bite is brown....anyone have any ideas on what could have happened or what i can do at this point? could my plant die? could this stunt the growth cause i have a plant about a week younger that seems to be maturing much faster than this one is... please help.. thank you...:blsmoke:

Could you post a picture of the plant? Something might very well have taken a bite out of your plant but I would not now for sure unless you have a picture. Usually insect activity is shown by little nibbles on a plant like caterpillars.

since its in the stem you might wanna prop it up with something for support 4 a while until it gets bigger when it can support its self better itll probably start to heal

hmmmm, at that age, unless it was bit completely off, i would say probably slugs, take a ring of copper wire and put it over the plant...one of the drawbacks to early planting is your plant is probably the only green plant around right now, and makes for an easy meal.
