Help, I'm a mess.

Good morning!

I am not an expert, or even a novice, but I need some expert advice!

My little plant is growing decently well, but I repotted it from a solo cup to a larger container, maybe too large... AND i might have damaged the roots during transition because it did not come out well or easily...

I've been growing it with just natural sunlight, because I really just found a seed and planted it to see what would happen. But when it started to really grow, I purchased a grow light, a horribly cheap $20 one with purpleish/pink light.

It's looking a little wilted, but not overwatered wilted. I either did a lot of damage during transport, or the light is too hot and shriveling my plant like SpongeBob in Shell City.

Can anyone advise what I should do? Im not very good at this and really have no knowledge except what I've found on the internet.

Follow up question: How far away from the light should the plant be? Like distance between light and plant... 1 ft? 2 ft? 6 inches?
 
How far away is your light also how long has it been from transplant might have to wait her out as always thank you for your time
 
It's been two days since transplant and... I just got the light and haven't built a box for it yet so it sat im a cabinet with the light in close proximity... i messed up. :( but i have 7 other seedlings in solo cups that I just planted and don't qant to ruin them. So if i can figure out where i went wrong here, maybethe seedlings will work!

As a general rule, I keep the lights elbow to fingertip distance above the tops. When they are that little, 2’ is good. I think she’ll be just fine. They always go through a little transplant shock but will bounce back in a weekish. Also, using B vitamin helps with transplant shock :)

I thought this link might be helpful for you.
I like that the site is setup in a tutorial format.

Good luck with your grows, and welcome to RIU.
Cheers,
