This is my first grow ever, or even my first plant ever.

So, a part of my small root system fell off, of the seedling and I’m worried it’s not going to work, I have just replanted it, giving it a bit more light and more humidity.
At a temperature of 26C 24H and around 20H of LED light with good humidity.

it’s an automatic skunk by the way.
Can it still survive? Do I need to buy something specific online?

Help :(

The tap root is kinda important but these things are usually hardy even at that size. You can prop it up if it starts to droop but chances then would not be good IMO.

It's better not to handle so small plants. They are still very fragile.

You mean I pull it up a bit? Or should I just leave it be? Don’t give it anymore stress?

I meant if it starts to topple over you can tie it to a small stick or circle it with a soft twisty just for support by resting the leaves on it.

How long between the breaking the tap root and taking photo, if it's not wilted in an hour I'd expect it to be OK?

I've broken the tip of tap root on a seed without coteleydons and it still grew ok, it didn't appear to bother it.

One day, and so far, it still looks OK I suppose, wow man, but that's some good news. Woof, I was extra worried about her. But lets wait and see, I left alone, giving it water every now and then

If anyone is still interested, its been about four days, and it seems the plant is growing upwards! :)
I just gave some more light and heat, with watering once a day, and left it alone.

They are indeed resilient!
