Hey peeps. INCLUDED PHOTO...
80% Twisted & Broken stem approximately 5-10mm under soil while transplanting 10 day old baby..
The stem is still attached (JUST) and I have airated the soil and soaked it...
24hrs later and 1 water leaf is shrivelling and the other is hanging on for dear life...
Should I remove the dying water leaf (only 1 water leaf is dying)
I need this plant to grow for clones as my seeds were 3 years old and this is the only one that sprouted 1/25.. I need this girl!!!
Cheers for ya help !!!

And be patient, don't need to over love the seedling at this point.
 
Leave it alone like dude said. That soil tho? Need something. Like
Perlite. Good job moistening at the roots. I dunno man. Good luck.
Definitely this. I'm on my first grow but from everything I've seen and read, your soil looks pretty packed. It'll make it more likely that the roots could drown since drainage might be difficult.

I've found so far that the best thing to do is leave the plants to their natural course in their early life. The plants are pretty resilient by themselves.

Just keep an eye on her and see if she recovers on her own.

If it is damaged under the soil, the plant may have a hard time getting enough moisture. If you notice this, consider treating it like a clone in terms of misting it and raising humidity.

Just let nature takes its course..be patient and dont over think it or over care for it.. Had the light fall and hit my 2 Hawaiian seedlings 3 weeks ago, bent them bad..just staked them, they healed..a but slower on the grow because they were mending. just remember you can't rush the healing so dont get impatient..
