Will it survive?

[Ovah]

Accidently cut of the few leafs that were on top (very small leafs), the seedling still have roots poking out.

Will it produce new leafs or should I use a new seed?

Also, when you start over, make sure your baby gets more light - the stems are not supposed to look like snakes!

How much more light? Right now the plug is in the bathroom under a regular light.

Good you ask then!
You need an amount of light as well as the proper light quality - and the regular light isn't giving you the right quality, no matter the amount.

For the growth phase, of which sprouting is the beginning, you need a light that is more in the blue spectrum than a regular light is.
Look for 6500K on CFLs, and if you go LED, you need good coverage of the 420-480 nanometer range (someone who knows more about LED please correct me here!).
Or you could put them straight under your veg light but keep the light around 30cm away in the first days. If you see the stem beginning to stretch, then move the light closer.

As to amount, if you want a smaller lighting for these first days, that'S something I haven't figured out for myself yet so can't say what will be enough but not overkill.
So passing this one on - what do you guys say?
