The plant is a Nlights reveg. Had been growing well but recently needed to be transplanted.. Transplanted to a larger pot 2 weeks ago. Spends about 8 hrs under lights and the other 10 hrs in day light. This weirdness started out slowly in a few water leaves At night under the indoor lights the leaves would bounce back..next day wilt.
The Avg temp the plant is experience is 85 Degrees with a relative humidity of about 85 percent.

This is an image of the worst it has become as of today

Going over your image I see several branches doing it on one side only.
Looks to me its like what Buds said already, a bad transplant, probably damaged/snapped a set of roots on one side of the soil.

That branch is dead. Maybe the tips will recover, but those leaves are toast.

They seriously come back daily? They look so dead to me.

Thanks for the Chuckle Canna Connoiseur Not sure what exactly you are looking at But its the side of our house and the Mound in the BKGD is our compost pile..

Now as to the bad transplant... I gonna say it really wasn't that the transplant went well.. didn't loose any of the dirt ball and disturbed very little of the soil.

So can you elaborate more and define what you mean by bad transplant.. it would be nice to know.

Amputated the branch today since it had completely failed..

The image I sent was after a few days of this wilting problem.. before it got that serious.. the water leaves for afew days wilted and bounced back at night.. this happened for a few days then the BIG wilt..

Thanks all

11 day ago I wrote about asking why a branch wilted and slowly died...The general consistence was a bad transplant. Nobody described WHAT was a bad transplant.. GEE thanks..

NOW a new branch has done the same thing so I am really skeptical that the statement of bad transplant is correct cuz this is a month or more after transplanting.

Any other ideas???

Thanks
 
A bad transplant can mean too much handling of the plant, not necessarily removing it then placing it in its new container. Also, handling it roughly, pulling on the stem too hard before loosening the root ball. Being too physical with the roots by using a utensil or object to loosen the soil around the edges. Really just mishandling it all together. Also, having an extremely hot soil the plant isn't used to could affect the plant as well. Watering it with a higher or lower pH than the plant is used to directly after transplanting as well. If you think that you were gentle and didn't plant it in anything different than it was before, or didn't feed it anything different, it could have been an unfortunate transplant or something else.

Thanx for the feedback... its good to get a second opinion
Alas it seems to be the last If it wasn't a Northern Lights I would just let it fail
Thanks again

I did transplant mine y-day from a 5 gal pot to a 24 gal. My girls are like nothing happened. I've read that transplantation should be made during afternoon to get the plant able to recover with no heat/light during the night, well about yours, i dont think it's totally because the bad transplant, what soil did you use? the same as the old pot had? If yes check your waterings. I hope they will recover soon :-)

In the future, mist new transplants with plain water to keep the leaves wet and humid for the shock period . There really aren't many other times I'd recommend spraying foliage, but in this case it helps with transplants when some of the root system is cut. Clones have the same shock issue, but more extreme.
