Potentially deadly bug bite?

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...

Can you get pic's?

spray some red pepper/garlic water on it and hope for the best. rub a little soap on the stem to keep the pests off. i mean your talking about growing outside, not all plants make it. out in the wild it gets pretty wild.

I'm putting about ten lady bugs on each of them every morning.. do you think this is effective? I also purchased a spray that is safe for vegetable and fruit use but i have been hesitant to use it...
