Droopy and dying leaves. help please

so, a couple of days ago i transplanted and put a G13 plant from the veg box into the flower, and within those few days many, many leaves started to die and dry up. today i went in and quite a few more leaves starting drooping and looked really weak.

the pics below give an idea to the condition of the plant. sorry for the crap cellphone cam pics. gf took the camera with her. however, in one of the pics yall can see all of the leaves that died and fell/trimmed off in the bucket.

for now i think i may have to reveg it for a while to get back the leaves that died off or should i not?

you guys think it was just transplant shock? or could it be something else?

temps range from 75-83 so i dont think its temps. it is soil and no nutes. just water and fresh ocean forest.

How did you transplant? Did you just slide the entire root ball and soil out of the other pot and place it into the new one without damaging any of the roots? If so, thats not the problem. Now if you removed the soil from the root ball... then that may be the issue. Did any roots get damaged? If so, theres your problem. Its a pretty big plant... so it should recover. Also, the pot you moved it to doesn't look very big for the size of the plant you put in it. I would've put it into a bigger pot.
 
yeah i just put the root ball into the new pot, so if any of the roots got damaged it is minimal.

the pot is a 12 incher, we have used 14s before but its too big to put into the flower box i made. at least too big to fit all of the plants currently, or about to be, flowering. pic below kinda shows. if the problem is because it is rootbound then i would definately try and squeeze another 14 incher in there, but a few more are going in somehow so im trying to conserve on space. :)

the pics below were taken a couple of days ago, and thats how bushy it was before (middle plant).

Now that the plant has to recover from something should I continue with the reveg (only put into 12/12 for maybe 3 days) or will the plant continue to repair itself and grow new fans on the 12/12 cycle in the flower box?
 
The plant is over-fertilized is all. It can't take up the water it needs when the EC is too high. Just keep flowering but give it water only for a couple weeks.
 
How is the drainage in the new pot? Don't re-veg it or you will just stress it further. Try a mild superthrive solution and some molasses. Was the soil left over from the bag that you used when you transplanted? How was the soil stored? With organic soils if they are not stored properly often they can build up soil pathogens. So molasses will help with the build up of beneficial microbes and superthrive works wonders on stressed plants. Keep us updated :peace:
 
ive been using just water for the past 2-3 waterings, but there was prolly some of the veg nutes still lurking in there. the soil used was a fairly new bag (1-2week old) of ocean forest. i will try to add some of the molasses and superthrive we have here in the next few watering and keep yall updated. and the drainage seems to be ok but i just got a new bag of perlite so ill put a couple of cupfulls in for more drainage

hopefully the 1 day of reveg didnt uber stress it. it looked like a nice plant and would hate to have it turn out bad.

thanks again yall
