Add SUPERThrive?

I transplanted about 4 days ago and my plants are hanging in there but drooping and not showing any significant growth at all. Is it too late to add SUPERThrive in order to combat the transplant shock?

The plants aren't quite ready for another water (another day is probably necessary), so should I go ahead and add the vitamins today or wait until it's truly time to water?
 
Anyone have any advice to this effect? I don't want to make the situation worse by adding the SUPERThrive, but I think if I'm going to take any action it needs to be today. Thanks! :joint:
 
nutes will add more shock to your plant! not the way to act on this here!

post a pic of the patient so we can have a look at the situation.
 
OK, Pic is attached. Looks good except for the drooping, yes? This is a 15.5 day old plant, was growing just fine until day 12 when the transplant occurred, now it hasn't changed much at all in the last 3.5 days. :(

it doesn't look like N def to me, it is only a 15 day old plant and repotted 4 days ago, there is plenty in the soil for sure. my are in smaller pots for 4 weeks right now and haven't developed such def;) i rather would say it is a mix of root damage with root rot do to the large soil volume the new pots hold.

wdb, did you water heavily lately before and after you replanted this ones?
 
They were pretty dry before transplant and watered to slight overflow immediately after. They will be due for another watering probably tommorrow.

So is there anything I should be doing except for scheduled watering?

problem with big pots and tiny plants is that water pockets build up in the soil below surface which you can hardly fell nor see. and those lead to root rot.
dig a bit around at the rim of the pot and see how wet the soil down in the center before you water;)
 
Yeah, I've done that. That's why I say I think they will be ready for water tomorrow but I'll be careful with overwatering. I'd actually like for them to sit bone dry for a day or so just to be sure, so that'll be my goal.

Think these guys will recover?
