strange things happening...

I had finished germinating a seed. And I had planted it in a small container to be transferred later. Well after a week it hadn't broken the soil so I decided to check on it. The seed hadn't split more at all and the root was gone. So I took the seed out and opened it up and there was some greenish white inside of it. And I was like "oh shit it was fine, why did i have to get impatient?" Well then today I had finished germinating another few seeds and went to plant one, and suddenly there's a sprout about an inch high in the container. It had been in complete darkness for a while but looked pretty good other than being very pale in color. Now it is possible this was just contamination, like just another kind of plant seed. But I'm not really sure. Now if it by chance the seed had just kind of separated from the root and some vital parts or something. Would the stress of being in fairly consistent darkness for about a week of gross cause enough stress that i should just throw it out, because it will probably be male. Or no?

No don't throw it out. Stress in vegging doesn't cause a plant to turn male or hermaphrodite because the male flowers only pop up on a female during stress, not afterward. They could continue to grow afterward but not first show up afterward. It's just when a flowering plant is stressed that a few male flowers might appear. Even that much doesn't usually happen with good, solid genetics. If you post pics, I'm sure someone here can tell you if it's a pot plant or not.

man i only wish u could tell what sex ur plant was at seedling stage
i bet alot of people would jump on board to that
i keep seeing feminised seed adds and stuff
and i heard that some ppl spray with a chemical to get the affect and i gotta wonder if its bad for u u know

well from what i've read i think the gender isn't determined unill later on in the plants growth, and they weren't feminized seeds. but i was just thinking maybe the stress would make them more likely to be male than female

i'll put a picture up in a little bit. so someone can tell me whether it might be the plant coming in later or just another kind of plant that was in the soil before i planted the seed.
