Hey guys kinda hit and wedged off a chip of dirt that was holding my week 2 veg plant into position and the plant just fell over, I picked it up and compacted the dirt around it and then watered no stem was broken but im scared being my first grow, anyone please comment.

No its fine looks normal the only reason i am scared is because that little plant was being held straight with just a dry piece of dirt and the root was like 90 degrees and then it went down. Here is a pic its pineapple chunk day 16 and when i look at other grows this thing is slow as shit, i use 80 watt cfl pretty close with no stretching and the plants looks very healthy.

Look at this looks perfectly fine except growth is fine and i water every 3 days since the pot is pretty big.IMG_0157[1].jpgIMG_0158[1].jpg

The plant looks okay but it's difficult to determine the damage done from these pictures. It's possible that the plant has been stressed by the experience and will grow to be a male/develop male pollen sacks (balls), even if it were destined to be female before the fall. I think the only way to know for sure is to continue growing it and see what happens. If the growth is slow, it's likely the roots were damaged during the transplant.

The growth was slow since the start maybe its just the seed because my soil mix and pot along with transplant was flawless.

Looks like a good little plant. I had a couple that would not stand up on their own due some clumsy handling on my part. I stretched a couple of thin pieces of duct tape across the top of the pot to stabilize them. Worked like a charm. They did end up being males though. Good luck!
