arrg thas why you should use water soluble nutrients to already planted plants... use organic or granulated nutrients when mixing up soil to plant in.... or just not at all.

picture it this way, the roots, are like your insides, would you like sum one to open you up and directly place a sandwich in your stomach, destroying everything along the way, or to take it in through the mouth and have no worrys :)
you need to get nutes you can either water in form the top of soil or mix in with the water ^^
dunno how bad you muffed it up?
you could be lucky and u barley touched the roots, and this is just sum nute burn from them??
 
i checked it this morning... almost the whole plat has willted :( theres 2 branches left alive and im sure thell me gone tomarrow

If you need to support it vertically, do that, otherwise just let it repair itself. Can I ask why you were mixing around your soil?? You should be using WATER-SOLUBLE nutrients. You should Never mix around the soil during the grow. Disturbing the soil can result in the following: 1) The plant will most likely lose some of it's support against gravity, since the soil around each root is not as tight as it was. 2) You will Definitely kill some of the roots, and if you're rough/unlucky enough, you may even clip the taproot (in which case you're pretty much f*cked). 3) Even temporary light can cause some of the root tips to dry-up, killing the cells at the end of the root-hair, resulting in no more growth from that root-hair. If you were trying to aerate the roots, just use a shishkabob squer.
 
well the whole plant died all the leaves wilted and fell off. then the main stem and all the others where turning hard and like a dry looking yellowish color well i F*cked up.. on to the next grow i just germed the seeds today. wish me luck!!

bummer... i had to do an emergency transplant not too long ago and knocked off about 1/3 of a plants taproot.... little bastard just pulled through a week later after losing 80% of its fan leaves... which is now making it sprout crazy growth!
