I pulled that seedling and replaced it. I sliced open the stem and it was nice and green with no purple and there were 1" rootlets growing all around the stem that formed after I planted the original stem 2/3rds deep. Not sure what happened to the plant. Could be that it was in the 80s most of its life and suddenly dropped to the low 50's upper 40s. Maybe the major temp swing along with transplant shock was too much for it. Bonnie's greenhouse for all the local big box plants is in Labelle, which is only 30 miles from me so I'm sure it grew in similar climate. It was a cherokee carbon. I replaced it with 2 more in a deep 20gal tub. Maybe I can get one to grow hahah. I'm stuck with big box plants until I can start my first batch of seeds in the fall.
