So I have a 6 day old seedling, and while transplanting the root snapped. It snapped exactly where the stem and root meet. This was about 2 days ago, since then the plant hasnt grown at all, and it only has one set of true leaves, they are same size as the cots atm. It isnt cleanly broken off, its still hanging on on one side, is there anything I can do?!

It's pretty much impossible for that plant to survive. Sorry

Ok thats kinda bad news, this is my second seed of the strain I'm wanting to grow, pretty annoying. I have taped it together with some duct tape. Hopefully it works

Any other suggestions?

I had a similar issue with one of my plants, she fell the balcony and snapped, but it was the half root that broke, nothing to do with stem.

Here she is yesterday.

Ahh I see, guess I was just unlucky. Is it too late to start another grow? Its a green o matic autoflowering, and I'm going to put it outdoors.

Probably not too late. If half the stem is still connected, it sounds like the xylem and phylem on one side could be still attached.

Its a bit less than half, more like a 1/4. I doubt this plant will survive, I'll have to order another seed and get that going as soon as possible. Thanks everyone for your advice.

It's dead sorry m8. I myself disturbed a seedling root and it didn't pull through. Why transplant so early?

Well it was my first seedling and I was all excited and couldnt stop mysef from doing something. One second I would be taking random PH tests, other times I would be touching it, and then I transplanted and I heard a snap.. and well yh.

Am over the newbie stage now and my other 2 seedlings are doing quite well

Ya true, but once its outdoors I wont visit it much, and when I do it will be to empty a bottle of water into the soil

Is it going to be in ground? Pots dry out fast in the heat

Yh im going to go to this park, which is quite big, and has a area of dense forestry. Gonna dig a hole about a half metre in diameter, in the ground, fill with my soil, and put the plant into there. How long should I wait before transplanting outdoors? My original idea was to let the plants get developed a bit, so they could withstand the winds and such, but now I'm not too sure.
