Accidentally scorched seedling - will it survive?

Started growing for first time recently, realised I had my seedling way too close to my LED light for the first 3 days of veg, moved it further away now, but the leaves seem pretty burned and curled up (kinda hard to see in this photo, sorry), its on day 5 now, what are its chances? :)

What LED? Watts?

I learned this lesson myself, here is a plant I did seedling & veg in under a mars ii 400 (185w) at 5 feet height, she dwarfed and now is about 53 days into flower and under a foot tall...

LED's are so intense, I think they are awesome but too intense for seedlings and veg, both of which can grow under cheap shop lights...

Just my .02, but I'd say you'll be OK. Thing is, these plants are tuff as all get out. I'm just cruising through my first grow and frankly, I'm kinda shocked at the abuse they can take.

I was running DWC like it was on rails until I got sick (sinus infection). I dodged my grow for 3 days whilst doing the antibiotics thing. When I rose from the misery I found mt reserviors fully in the throes of pythium. Total root involvement, freaking slime central. I couldn't get to the store because I was still feeling low, so I tried a small amount of bleach. Made zero difference, so I added more, alot more. They were toast. Pulled 'em an tossed 'em (still cold winter here, .°30's) in the garbage.

Had some bourbon and chilled. The next morning I kinda felt bad so I tracked 'em down and put them in a DIY aero buck with neoprene collares, after a massive root manicure (read: shave!).

After 48hrs I was shocked to see a ton of new roots busting out all over the stalk that was exposed to the inside of the aero. Sunk them into some hempy pots, and have been feeding then 1/2 nutes for 48hrs. Tomorrow I'll hit then with some Heisenberg tea, and go from there.

They were dead as far as I could see. But as it turns out, I'm not such a good eye for determining which naerly 90% yellow, half-frozen plants are alive and which aren't, so...

They can take a hella ass kicking, mine are proof. As long a there is some green, they'll keep trying to live. But that's only my .02.

I'm not stressing this process, figured I should add that. I have a little bit of latitude right now to try this process and see how little, or how much I need to involve myself. My experience is not something that should be emulated by anyone. I'm pretty disappointed in myself thus far, and thought that maybe my flops could serve as a marker of something "not to ever do". Endeavor to do much better. Lord knows, I am, lol.

Heisenberg tea,
OMFG! How fucking lame, that a simple AACT has become "Heisenberg tea" from a 7 year old post here. All over the web too.

It was known as a simple AACT or bio tea. LONG years, before "Heisenberg" posted that in 2010....

Ponderous, simply ponderous. LMFAO!

Already started again man :) seeds are fine, I just roasted it with the LED lol. Got a Fluorescent lamp now, here are my babies now :)
Good deal. Figured it would..

Now wait until you hit a strain that's a slow, fussy cloner......Another "be patient" moment. ;-)

I got one that can take 3 weeks to root. But when they do....
