very weird grow

Hey guys this is my first post and grow, by accident.

So.. I have to move out of the house I am currently in, in about a month and was given notice about 2 weeks ago.

Since then, to my surprise I noticed a cannabis plant was growing in my garden amongst other plants :o I have thrown seeds in on occasion for a laugh, never expected them to grow.

It looks like she (yep was even female) had been in veg over a month and was just starting to flower with the white hairs, forgot the names sorry. I thought I would dig her up and move her inside on a 12/12 to help flowering since I have to move and don't want to just leave it. What a struggle.. I ended up using a hose to remove the dirt from around the roots as to do as little damage possible. Root system was very small. I put her in a decent pot and used the wet dirt to bury the roots again.
The next day she was fine.
I had her under a 20w light pretty close to the top of the plant because I have limited grow space. I then swapped the 20w for a 100w for about and hour and think I did some heat damage or overwatered or both. Changed back to the 20w and drained water in the pot tray. I did some weird light cycles up untill today like 12/12 to 10/14 back to 12/12 Seemed to recover for a day or 2 but..

I think I may have put it into reveg. Seems like new leaf growth and where there were white hairs, they (sorry forgot the names) are now brown pointy bits that look like they are dying off. Had some droopy leaves at the top so I did a bit of lst to lower it from the light and experiment a little and accidentally supercropped lol. A day later and I'm noticing droopy leaves and they all have curled up tips. Alot have brown spots aswell.

I use tap water and I read that the town I'm in keeps water at ph 7-8.5

She's In a bad state and need some advice.

She had to fight pretty hard to grow in that garden right up against the fence in the shade.

I did take some clones while it was still in the ground but I didn't have rooting gel. I read aspirin can help root so I tried one with that and they are both alive, but the one I used aspirin on and under a dome has new growth, a crispy leaf, kinda yellowing and has some browning spots. The other one seems fine.

If the mother can recover I will bring her with me

I would just chop the mom up into 2 inch parts with a few leaves on each 2 incher. some will make it out of the lot. Not sure about asprin, but you could make a cheap'o bubble clonner for like $20 bucks.

Just get a 2-5 gallon rubbermaid tub, get some air stones with an air pump from wally world or petco or whatever. By the time they get roots you will be moved (and you wont be pulling your hair out trying to keep this plant alive), you can just sit back and let them do their thing no problem under your 100 watter light (in a real small space...lol, your car trunk if necessary).

I did give you advice to keep it alive, Its not going to live as is. You're garbage 20-100 watt light isn't going to cut it with how tall and spindally it is (not to mention is dying).

Your worried about curled tips?? Your top is rotting....

Yeah it was a bad situation from the start. The roots were literally between a rock and a hard place (the fence)

Tried to even out the ph of the water, might give it a day to see what happens but looks like it might get the chop.

You can salvage it, you have a choice...or don't. Sounds like you don't really care so, yea throw it in trash.

dude, that whole plant is atrophying on itself. I have an attitude because you sort of asked for advice and when you got good advice, you asked again for advice. Like it just whooshed right over your head.

What seems most worrying to me is how she's drooping - gives me a feeling her root system may be damaged beyond repair. In that case, exactly as Smegpot said....
How long is this since you did the "extraction" from her garden spot?

Looks to be very calcium deficienct probably caused by a ph issue. I'm guessing the transplant has Finished it of ripping it out of the ground and potting it up in different soil and a sudden change of environment has probably shocked it to the point of no return anyway, with the added fact it probably wasn't strong or healthy enough to pull through either like the lads said try and chop it for clones or what I would do is neck it and start again you've lost nothing if you've left it outside to grow.

Its been 4 days since moved into the pot
Yeah, I'd say it's pretty much at point of no return then...
Your having to take away all the soil around her roots to get her out of the tight spot she was in probably did it... it's because the roots have really tiny hairs on them that are essential for water & nutrition uptake - and those were probably damaged during that operation.

Definitely not worth running out and buying all sorts of accessories for it!
If you perchance have root stimulator on hand, you could put the 100W CFL back in & try watering it with the root stim to see if she can still recover against all odds.
First & foremost in my mind would be to get her to survive (=repair root system) - and worry about the deficiencies she certainly also has (as well as managing the elongated plant structure she developed in her shady spot) later.

Thanks for the replys.

Yeah I agree with no point investing in trying to save her. She was re buried in the soil she was growing from and she didn't seem to have a deficiency while in the garden. So like you guys said it probably is a deficiency caused by the higher ph water or damaged root system. I watered her with a lower ph and left her over night with 6 hours light off but she seems even worse off, the leaves are even droopier and cleary seem to be dying.

I did take a clone about 12 hours ago now and that has seemed to perk up alot.

I used the same tap water for the clone as i had been using on the mother but left the water out for a few days first
