So I was getting ready to transplant my seedling into its final home. As I'm about to transplant I take the seedling out of its solo cup and the dirt jus goes everywhere from the seedling. I don't know if I just killed it or what! This is my first grow so I'm clueless if it's gonna make it or not :( I uploaded a couple pictures of her in its final home. Hoping it's gonna make it.! First I put pictures of it where it wasn't able to stand up by itself then I put something to hold it up. I don't know if it's gonna make a difference. Let me know guys thanks!!!

The stem is broken near the dirt or is it a camera trick? Also there is space to add dirt without covering the lowest branches? If both those things are true do not move the stem for one week, I would normally advise masking tape but by now it probably would be best not to wiggle the healing stem as hours have passed. If it does wilt bury it as deep as possible to cover the break and wet the new dirt. Otherwise watch it heal it's kinda cool

If the seedling's main stem was not broken you should be ok. Even if tall skinny s'lings do fall over they can usually be saved.

Most important thing at first is to support the plant. Is that some kind of golf tee? Anyway, that support is too big as it would surely interfere with future growth if allowed to stay where it is. It is just too invasive. I buy 12-inch bamboo skewers and cut them in half. Then I cut a pipecleaner in half and twist the pipecleaner onto the top of the skewer. That's your brace. Try to get the pipecleaner to circle the main stem between the first and second sets of leaves. It may be necessary to adjust or remove the brace as the plant grows. One tip -- if you can identify just where the stem was most stressed, where it was bent, you can make sure to bury that trouble spot under the soil. Will help speed up the process where the plant grows more roots to support the plant. As we know, transplanted plants will spend most of their energy growing a root mass that pretty much fills the pot. Going from a small pot to a large pot can mean waiting a couple weeks with little above-ground growth visible. The plant is mostly growing roots. Then all of a sudden, when the plant is 100-150% as tall as its pot, you will see a lot of bright yellow new growth as you add an inch a day to height. That is the beginning of your veg cycle.

Good luck, BigSteve.

So true. I came home drunk once and decided it would be a good idea to try and bend my plants over to reduce the height. Long story short i split the stem completely so the plants looked like they have been hacked down the middle with a sword....absolutely mortified when i woke up in the morning.

Tied them together with a few pipe cleaners and a chopstick or two to keep them upright and after a week they were right as rain....in fact, i think the stress actually helped somehow....not that i will EVER be doing it again. Lesson learned on that one.

Anyway, bottom line is these are hardy plants....they're used to being trodden on in the wild and recovering. She should be fine, just leave her alone to do her thing.

High MoodyShoes, you were doing a sort of super cropping with your plants. Take a closer look at Topping, Linning, LST and super cropping u will enjoy a lot.

Have a good crop, peace.

3 words...toothpick and twisty tie.

I have seen FAR worse things happen to seedlings as I have perused the RIU forums....she should be fine.

Next time water the plant, wait about an hour or so and transplant. The root ball will hold together much better.
