Soooo I got pretty blowed last night and forgot to check the weather. I woke up this morning to find it raining pretty hard on my 3 week old seedling.
Will it be able to reapair or will it die??

This is just a part of Mother Nature and the plant will be fine but the soil is waterlogged and this is troublesome .

should have put it in a solo cup under a CFL for the first couple weeks. then when it was ready to go into itsd final container, prob a 5 gal bucket or bigger (outdoor plants require larger containers) then movd it outside.

I have an inside crop and an outside crop where i use no extra anything jus sunlight and rain water. My inside plants grew much faster and are starting veg. But I've always wanted some natural weed. Could that be why they its growing so slow??

mae sure the container had drain holes and lift it up off the ground so it can drain. Also adding in some perilite to almost any soil will help improve drainage. Lots of people practice adding additional perilite but with most potting soils its not 100% necessary.

I moved the seedling from the one gallon to a plastic cup I cut in half for easier management , I put holes in the bottom for drainage
