Seedling stem kink

My seedling's stem has a kink in it from when it stretched and lopped over IMG_1006.jpgIMG_1007.jpgIMG_1008.jpg:cry:
Sorry for the blurry images I don' have a good camera. BUT HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Layla's dying a slow painful death :(
I didn't notice the kink until it started to become more gaunt and the first set of true leaves started dying. My guess is not enough water is reaching the rest of the plant causing it to slowly wilt and die. Should I just let it be and see if it improves? This has been going on for a week and the leaves just started to get worse two days ago. I figure I can let it be and hope for the best or cut it in an attempt to clone it. :???:

It's hard to tell from the shitty picture, but if by "kink" you mean a grey area on a withered stem (which I think I see) Layla is already dead. Looks like damping off or some other stem rot.

Nothing to loose...try to save her in the bin! Cut the rockwool and put her in with some stimroot #2 and sandwich her in the rockwool roots and all right up to the leaves.

Try to replant her deeper in the soil below the bent area and then put a dome over it...you'll have to keep her alive via foliar until she reroots herself...that's what I would do

Get a seed. Get a 4" pot. Get some potting soil and fill the pot. Water. Bring the soil level back up to a half inch below the top. Get a 2 liter of bottled water. Run all that water through the soil. Dump the soil out on a cookie sheet or a clean table. Let Dry. Put the soil back in the 4" pot. Water with bottled water at room temp, just enough to get the soil moist. Use a pencil or whatever, and poke a 1/2" deep hole in the soil. Drop your seed in the hole, then gently cover it up. Get a large spoon. Fill with water. Gently pour the water onto where you planted making sure not to wash the soil away. Place it on a shelf that's at eye level in the home. (temps are best there). Leave it alone for a few days. It will sprout if it was a good seed. Water sparingly, only when the soil is dry. Not powder dry... But pot really doesnt like soggy soil.

Don't fertilize until the little round leaves die on their own.

Once that happens, get a couple good pics and we'll see what we an do from that point.

(3 weeks or so)

Which ever way you do it you will need to use the stimroot to establish roots above the bend. I have seen seedlings come back from this but mostly to live runted lives. Very little moisture is getting to the leaves so in any event a cloning bin will be nessesary. i make my bins from clear plastic garbage bags.

Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk :wall: this seedling had the narrow leaf pheno i was looking for:wall::wall::wall::wall::wall::wall::wall: it's worth a try right? I think i'm gonna go for it. Yesterday I had to cut off the dying set of leaves. Ok so whats the best way to try and clone this thing?

No I mean it's first leaves were extremely thin compared to all other of my other seedlings, sprouted 23 outside. I was hoping it wasn't just a mutation
