hmm.. interesting.. this is a toss up.. some plants could go into shock.. and even if they don't die.. they will just stop growing....

on the otherhand.. I saw a thread a few months back and this guy took a pair of pruning sheers to his roots... he was growing hydro and cut back 1/3 of the roots... the plant wasn't phased at all.. but this was a mature plant... babies don't like to have their roots touched, let alone broken..

was the tap root broken?

keep us posted.. maybe even a pic.. curious how this turns out..

: )

i love you
