You learned a good lesson, it'll probably recover just fine, but don't monkey with your seedlings.

This is my first grow i got my seed to sprout everything was going fine its about a inch tall in 4 days it just lost the seed case that was still stuck to it and the cotyldons were exposed and i waited another day and they were still pointing up so i decide to push them down a bit and i broke one off and its been about a week and a half and the one thats left is vertical and it has not grown up anymore and it has not grown anymore leaves its as if it just stopped growing completely yet the stem is completely healthy and the one leaf is a lush green so my question is do i keep trying to grow it or is it
just a total loss from my newbie mistake

If you only have a total of 3400 Lumens then you actually have two 23 watt CFL's, but they are the equivalent of 100W incandescent. YOU REALLY ONLY HAVE 46 WATTS TOTAL.

Oh and to everyone who said don't monkey with seedlings nah you can and have to sometimes!! Just gotta be extremely cautious.

U'll see sometimes the seed casing doesn't want to fall off for too long, and if it doesn't the plant will die so u have too pull it off manually. Also sometimes the plants leaves have membrane sticking them together.. I've gone in and cut them free several times! Um.. yeah.. you have less problems with bank seeds for that, but I see it alot when people bring me bag seed that they claim was a great smoke!

Don't forget many Places you get seeds give free seeds. the store i recently did business with gives 20 free seeds no clue what they will be. but they are free and I can practice with them also,.
Just fyi I germinated maybe 30 bag-seeds 17 sprouted, 14 survived. so don't feel bad. the #1 thing the extremely helpful people on this forum taught me is, I have to learned from my mistakes and figure out what works for my style and setup.
Good Luck on your next attempt. But I would recommend more lighting, even just for vegging, and blooming without HPS is problematic. I have heard ya can do it with CFL, But Tons of high Lumens and hope for the best.
