Hey all,
First grow. Got a single seedling currently under a 15 watt CFL (bout to double that within the next 48 hours assuming this problem doesn't interfere) with a reflector hood, indoors. On 24/0 currently, watering as the soil dries. Put her in the soil for soil germination 9 days ago, she popped up six days ago. Two sets of leaves, the second are still just opening.
My delicate, soon to be remedied light setup nudged the poor little (hopefully) gal and bent her stem over a good ninety degrees yesterday. Nothing was severed, but she was bent right over, almost to the point of her leaves facing the ground, and didn't look strong enough to help herself back up without breaking at that bend. I quickly picked her back up and covered her with soil past the bend. Now her leaves are facing the light again. I'd show a picture, but I don't want to remove her soil support. I just want to be sure I did the right thing or know if there's a better action I could be taking.
