we have 11 seedlings and they're aproximately 3 weeks old and don't quite look this mature:

still two round leaves and 2 small pointed leaves... except for one of them, it was born with 3 round leaves:P

it's blue city diesel if that matters...

are we doing something wrong?

Ah, seems to me you have a fungus called Pythium Wilt! This little bastard sortof just stunts your plants growth in one spot and turns the stem a sortof brown colour.. And it is not currable sorry bra! The best thing to do is throw out the plant and get started on another one! It's caused by either overwatering and hummidty or it's already present in your grow medium... I just lost 4 seeds to thisfucker I had tainted soil.. But yes this fungus is more commonly known as damping off! Hope I could help!!

^^^^ thanks. Not really enough info. But heres my take on damping. Cheshunt compound will prevent it but even then ya can still stuffer from damping off as spores can go air bore. plants that live will be retarded and stunted but plants being plants they will always try there best to reproduce. This is the bit that i cant work out and seen it many times even if you clone a plant thats damped off and lived they still seem a touch retarded on the growth and flowering and seem to suffer genetic drift or clone depletion. Many many forms of this. No outward signs just slow growth, mushy main stems, white scale on the stem base and swelling of the plants base followed by a thin stem, first sets of leafs go brown and then the plant tips over from that point white threads on and in the soil.

One last thing only had it once with seeds and they all lived but far to slow to grow. Clones that live and not to badly damaged can still yield a fair but reduced yield.
