Hey UB, nice thread. Okay well I have big problems with my plants right now. I just transplanted them from a clay soil(in the ground) into pots with fox farm soil because I have to move them somewhere. I watered them once the night I transplanted them, and twice the next day. Day 2 the bottom fan leaves begin yellowing and having a crispy feel to the leaves so I know its bad. I also noticed that the top of the plants like to hang once the sun comes out and the wind starts getting stronger, but at night they rise back up. Heres some pictures of them Day 3 of the transplant: http://img37.imageshack.us/i/001vhc.jpg/ http://img20.imageshack.us/i/002ytx.jpg/ http://img34.imageshack.us/i/003hmk.jpg/ http://img106.imageshack.us/i/005i.jpg/

Now im into Day 5 and they still arent looking good, it seems as though the tops are growing okay..but the yellow just keeps coming to the next set of leaves!

The leaves are yellowing because there is no longer the root mass to transfer sufficient NPK. They'll recover but you need to baby them (keep them shaded from west sun and mist them) and if you put them back in the ground, bury the trunk up to first healthy leafsets. Pinch off everything below that point.

Good luck,
