Yikes this all sounds worse than it probably is
Good luck transplanting, I just transplanted a tomato plant from hydro to soil.
But I just plucked it out and shoved it into the soil, gave a good solid foliar feeding and it shot up about an inch over night, lol.
Wish it was that easy with herb.
Will be looking in on your progress and best of luck sorting this out.
