Here's my update... not a good one unfortunately... these babies have had a tough start to their lives to say the least. I was laying in bed just after midnight lastnight when my wife came upstairs and said "your little babies on top of the dryer fell off and there's dirt all over the floor. I need you to come help me clean it up". I get down to the laundry room and there is my tray and humidity dome on the floor with dirt everywhere, and the cups are on top of the dryer.
One of the seedlings managed to stay somewhat in the dirt with its roots intact , 2 others were laying in an empty cup that she put on the dryer, and the other I didn't see anywhere.
I told her get the broom and I'd go grab a dustpan... well when I got back she had a big pile of dirt swept up in the floor and said she still didn't find the other seedling. After a couple of seconds of searching, I see it tangled up in the brooms bristles.
Admittedly, I was kinda angry by now so I told her she could go on to bed and I'd finish cleaning up the mess.
I cleaned it up and went and found the lightest soil I had to replant them in. The one that I untangled from the broom had no hairs longer than 1/4 inch left coming off of the taproot, but I said what the hell and replanted it anyway... here is the aftermathlooks like a murder scene to me LOL.

Now it' been 24 hours since the ordeal and to my most amazing surprise, they are all still alive!
I do think I may now hold the record for the smallest plant that's ever been supercropped. Here they are now View attachment 827294
After I got it all taken care of, I went back to bed and asked my wife what happened. She said the dryer wasn't sitting evenly on the ground and it must have shook them off. I went back to have a look and it seemed to be just fine to me, so I went back and asked her what was in it. That's when I found out she had a damn king sized down pillow in there all by itself. I took it down and the threw it in the dryer, started it and that was all I needed to know.
The dryer instantly transformed into a bucking bronco trying to throw it's rider, which at the time happened to be my seedling tray.
Watching that fucker jump around like a bullfrog on Crack made me laugh so hard I couldn't be mad anymore... now that they're all still alive it's even funnier.
Happy growing everyone
Way to keep a good outlook on something that could have been much worse, glad the gals are ok!
