Will it hurt you a lot if you lose a few true leaves when you are in the early stages of growing a plant?

it may set you back a little, but over all should not kill the plant

I had one plant a few years ago that the sun had burned almost 75% of the leaves off. It set it back a bit but then it took off with a vengance.

As long as the new growth is ok, don't worrie about it!

Why rip it out before giving it a chance? These things can surprise you at just how much they can recover from.

Did you happen to see the response that Country Kid gave you in your previous post two minutes ago??

I see the Jeremy has much to learn about giant pumpkins. Loosing the first two leaves is nothing compared to what some plants have endured and still produced a nice pumpkin.
Of course, if you have ten more plants....no sweat!
