Soil transplant and I accidently ripped the
roots from 1 plant that is 3 1/2' tall and bushy
and only 1' of attached root ball is left after the ripping.
I transplanted with fresh medium and will be adding
liquid seaweed/kelp to help it along to recover.
It is in the shade but severely drooping in it's 1st day of transplant so does
anyone know if this vegging plant will recover?
I have about another 6 1/2 weeks of veg left.
Thank's for any feedback.

Ouch..I dont know if yours will recover as your plant is much bigger, but I made the same mistake on a smaller plant that was about a foot tall the first time I transplanted. It didnt grow much for about a week but then took off, now shes about 6 feet tall with huge buds all over her..you got the right idea with the seaweed I imagine, i'd give mine a bit of root booster as well..

I added some B-1 rooting hormone so I hope it helps.
Did your plant leaves initially droop at transplant and if so how
long did it take for your leaves etc.. to stand upright again?

Yeah my leaves did droop for a couple of days, its very stressful for so many roots to be damaged. They started perking back up after the third? day I think, then after a few more days she started growing normally again.
