Lights fell onto plants overnight, was planning on repotting...

I woke up this morning to find two cfls, fell onto each plant i was growing in my closet. They have been growing for just under 3 weeks, both have a few leaves with bad burns, and one plants has half a node which was bent pretty good but not completely chopped off. but the plants are still upright. I was planning on repotting them to their final containers tomorrow, but now I think that would be too much of a shock from this happening and then repotting right after? I was hoping to have them grow in veg for 5 weeks and then switch to flower. Any suggestions on the repotting or how to keep my sprouts alive would be greatly appreciated. my original thread is in the newbie forum if you're curious.

I'd give it 2-3 days to rebound from the damage then repot...either way you will probably be fine

let them recover a bit before potting again. i've had this happen 3 or 4 times, killed a plant and broke a bulb before i decided not to use totally ghetto setups. lesson learned. just give them some time. plants always spring back

thanks for the advice, I still think I'll repot in 2 days because they are currently only in about 5 inches of soil...will that be alright? Im leaving for a week and figured they should be in their final containers while im gone, really unfortunate that happened but from what ive read it seems like they will continue to grow regardless

I've broken bulbs and killed one plan and topped another.PM me with how your cfl set up is now.

i know you guys were just worrying all day long..... the plants are looking pretty good after a day of recovery! a few crispy brown leaves here and there but the bent over stems have already perked back up. keep checking out my grow in the next couple months, and advice is appreciated. thanks again
