Random sprout??

Howdy y'all.

Just quick one. Anybody every had a sprout they never planted, pop up?

Grown in coco, plant in question was about 2 and half weeks into vegging after a lengthy seedling stage ( was rather leggy, so after reading a post on here, kept on burying them). When I noticed, what I thought was a tiny green catipillar, on closer inspection was a sprout. Got rather excited at first... Woohoo 2 plants for the price of one. After the weed wore off, and I entered reality, I dismissed my 2 plant theory an plucked it like a unwanted pube. Any ideas what it was?

One for the sharper eyes, lol. It's in there somewhere

It happens although I've never seen it in cocoa.
I've seen little mushrooms pop up too.

Good move to pluck it and move on.

I had a sprout pop up during my seedling stage, I think it was already in my soil. I too got excited at first, but reality set in as I realized it wasn't another seedling.

I produce my own vermicompost, so I get random tomato "sprouts" that pop up all the time from a batch of tomatoes I processed and canned last year (I fed them the scraps). It's annoying, but also somewhat reassuring that my soil is quite fertile.

Cheers for the replies.

@xSwimToTheMoon, mushrooms you say. Would be a sight for sore eyes, I can't bloody stand them haha, not even the magical ones.

Would be quite a scenario, if the next generation just sprouted away next to their mothers, when they felt happy enough... Put the spliff back down Ross, it's 7 in the morning haha.
@v0x yeah, that's a canny outlook! Bit of a hindrance but a slight compliment to your media and conditions

Cheers again fam, it's good to see I'm not alone on the rogue sprouts. Peace out and take it easy
