Does this plant look like it has spider mites? You most likely cant tell from this angle, It's a sunflower I grew from a seed and I checked on it today and saw that it was covered with what looked like spider webs, so my initial thought would be spider mights but I checked the stem and around the leaves and saw nothing, also are the leaves starting to rot? I noticed they are all brown and look like rot.

I’m afraid you’re going to have to start over

😞 I have a couple others i planted the same day, one of them just started to show out of the dirt, is there anything different I could do this time so it turns out okay?

I’d put them where they can get more sunlight it looks quite leggy
