Roots snapped

While I was transplanting my one and a half week old plant (only one) into a larger container one of the roots snapped, and it had quite a bit of roots coming off of that one root?....will my plant be OK?....It was one of the side roots that wrapped around the sidewall of the pot. Will it heal itself over time and grow the roots back? any past situations or experience would help me...I just keep thinking I fucked up my one plant now.

Thanks

It happened to me before and it recovered fast

Even when it rips still transplant it because it will get repaired.

If you keep the two separated parts in contact, it will heal nicely and fast.

So don't worry. Cannabis is a master at repairing itself.

Like above, no worries unless you completely detach the root system at the crown. If there's ever a situation where you take off a large mass, just treat the plant like a clone (high humidity, low light levels, & cut back some foliage if you feel it necessary).
