My basil plants were super leggy to the point that the tall ones weren't standing on their own. They were about 12/14 inches tall, and I wanted to make them bushier. Well, unfortunately the lowest leaves were still about 6 inches up from the soil. So I somehow got the bright idea to trim them down to about 4 inches, no leafs.

Are they doomed? For what it's worth, the stems seem healthy.

FYI: Organic soil, organic fertilizer, well-drained/moist, about 4-6 hours sunlight outdoors, 4 hours sun replicating light indoors.
