thanks in advance fruity
 
I honestly have no idea but if thinking about it, i really think it will continue to grow out after maybe a small down time for repair. Might stunt growth? maybe/probably. This is why i don't like to germ in water over night and then plant the tap root. I use either the rapid rooters from seed or the jiffy peat pellets. Both work great but I lean towards the peat pellets that grow when watered to perfect little seed starters.

Only time will tell.
 
Have had this problem fruity with good and bad results. I dip the broken end or the black tip in rooting powder and replant. Now i've saved some that turned out wonderful and i also lost 4 bubba seeds this way! So still expirementing. Although i'm a soil grower i think you get the jest.
