Need Help!!!

Recently i germinated a seed from an ounce of IceBerry...Skip to the point...The plant started growing, it atleast got about 3 inches in a week! My Friend "Thinks he knows everything" decided to take it out and put it into a bigger pot resulting it to fall over in the big pot. The stem has shriveled up, i have a good feeling it cannot recover. I tried putting it on some type of white stick the one you get from lollipops, it is holding on to the little post i have into it. Can somebody tell me if i should just throw the plant away or it can recover? It is in darkness right now in its resting period!

It has nothing to do with the pot, you just over watered it when you put it into the bigger pot, therefor killing it. When you transplant a small plant, or even watering any small plant in general, there are not many roots yet. So when you watered transplanted it, you probuably watered the entire pot when really your suppose to water just the surroundings of the stem. When you did this, the roots started looking for air in the soil, and since theres only a small amount of roots they searched for oxyyyygen but where only left to find more wet, airless, soil. hope this could help lol..

if its in veg right now, turn on the lights and turn off the switch leaving it with 24/0. This should speed up recovery and hopefully save the plant. Also, put a fan on it blowing hard but not too hard. Keep it attached to the lolipop stick and make sure its moving but not falling over. this should strengthen the stem up to the point where it can support itself. If you dont do this, you mine as well throw it away.
