Dropped my seedlings :(

Hello! This happened literally in the last 20 minutes and I wanted to get online and ask what happens now. My tomato seedlings, about 7 weeks old were in a cup. I was just taking them outside to get them acclimated for about 20 minutes like you are supposed to. But I dropped the whole seedling tray to the floor! :,( some fell out of the cup and I could see their roots and few stems, not the main, even broke. It was a murderous scene. I did repot them in the cups they were in and added more soil to it. Now please tell me what happens next? Will they survive? Or should I consider starting new set?

Thanks

Most of them will probably be fine.  I do this at least once a year, usually more.

Thanks for the laugh.  

Those with broken stems will possibly not make it, or will take a bit more nurturing if they are to succeed.  

The repotted plants will likely have to have a time of settling in, before they perk up again.  It's probably not time to acclimatize them, but to put them back where you had them for at least a few days.  They'll let you know when to put them out.  They'll look happy and ready.  :)

If any bent, you can put them into a deeper pot and really bury the root ball so that the broken stem part is below ground.  It will send new roots out of all those fuzzy hairs and turn out just fine.

Thank you everyone for your reply. The plants look good this morning. I was fearing the worst. Thanks everyone for the reassurance. Stay safe!
