If It has zero leaves I think you should start some new seeds becuse I don't think it will survive. just MHO

nope, sorry. It happens to all of us.

Actually, I've had a "Beheaded seedling" survive for the entire season. Of course, the plant never grew more than an inch tall, and it only produced one leaf somehow out of the top of it's stem. So the seedling could survive, but it most definetely would produce anything in the way of fruit.

Last year I beheaded one Big Rainbow plant TWICE and it still grew out and produced 3 fruit. Both times, it was about 8 inches tall with a stem about the thickness of a pencil.

Put that plant to the side and give it a small increase in Nitrogen fertilizer. Like the others said, I'd advise you to start another plant, but you might have some fun letting the plant have a chance.

How big was the plant when you broke it off?
If the top has at least two sets of leaves, you may be able to re-root it as if it were a cutting.
If the broken-off stem sticking out of the soil still has the cotyledons (seed leaves) you may also get new growth from that.
So while it's still a setback, you could possibly end up with two plants. :)

But if you have more seeds, it's probably worth another sowing as a backup as well.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I have extras so it is not the the end of the world. The seedling was about 3-4 inches tall and had two sets of real leaves. Unfortunately, it broke off just below the cotyledons. I repotted the top (like a cutting) to see if it will grow. I will continue to water the headless stem just in case.
