So we have 2 seedlings in a grow box, 2X 26 watt 6500k CFL bulbs 2 inches away, with intake and exhaust fans.
One of the seedlings fell a distance of about 2 feet onto the ground in a small pot about 4 days ago. The plant fell out, some roots were broken but most were intact, and the stem had bent a little as well. Both seedlings were replanted into one pot, under the assumption that the damaged one would die.
The leaves of the injured seedling have very slowly drooped down over the past few days, the centers of the leaves have begun to turn grey, the stem has turned purple, and growth has stopped completely. I watered 2 days ago to no avail, but after watering this afternoon, the leaves began to perk up and she's showing signs of life.
Now here is the real issue. The seedlings are in topsoil. I know how bad that is, but it was a spur of the moment only-thing-I-had type deal. I know I have to get them into a good soil blend ASAP, but is it too risky to repot them a second time with one in such poor condition?
Sooo...help?
