Long story short, I have my first seedling ever... It's getting to it's 5th leaf set and the night before, it got attacked by pests. It looked like it was hurting so I decided to put a spider at the stalk to guard it.. My new buddy decided to crawl up the stalk (as I expected) and he just breaks off the top four leaf sets leaving me with the first leaf set..

Growth has not picked up since then, I transplanted it into some Fox Farm because I figured it was technically on it's 5th leaf set after seeing it sit for about a week doing nothing... Might as well try something.

Still waiting, anything I can do to snap my plant out of this? (sorry for no picture)

Branches may grow. All you can do is wait. I would start some more seeds just in case.

Thank you loc nar, it is still alive (the stock is fattening and if i give it a little tap it springs right back up) however, i'm not sure if it has the power to pull through.

I'll post in a week or so if anythings happened, if anyone has any advice/similar situations let me know.
