Wilting/Drooping after transplant.

Dr.Pecker said:

ok I know what happened to everyone involved. You transplanted and then had wilting. Drs advise. Water at the base of your stem instead of the entire container. transplants dont have the roots to expand fast so you have to nurse them along. What happens is the plant uses water like normal but you think the pot is wet but infact the plant sucked out all the water from the middle and is starving.Keep the center wet.

My new plant actually bounced back today and is up and perky so I did transplant right. That other plant wasn't good, that's why she died. But the soil def put the plant in shock.

You have your original root mass rite so you transplant your soil could be moist and good but your plant still has this little root ball that needs water more often now because the new soil is sucking it out.water at the base of the plants when you transplant I think this is the problem if anyone else wants to chime in have at it.

So I have been having the same issue with mine. I bought a clone and transplanted her (no root damage) and she wilted and eventually died. I just bought another one since that one died and she is doing the same thing. Now the reason why I'm curious is because you say you switched your potting soil over to Foxfarms, same stuff I use so, I wonder if this soil burns baby plants because I just can't figure it out. Hope fully my new one bounces back, I'm just leaving her alone. The last one I tried the humidity dome and all that, none of it worked so I'm hoping me leaving it alone will. Ugh fingers corssed.

FF is too hot for clones, imo. let yer clones get their feet in a small pot, with a fairly bland mix, to establish roots, in small pots and then transplant to hotter soil.

F%#@ ff

Defiantly sounds like transplant shock sometimes if the environment change is to extreme for them they will die also I wouldn't be using medium with any sort of fertilizer or be using fertilizer on them after transplanting as it will just stress them more a weak solution of a seaweed based to tonic like seasol or Charlie carp watered on plant and sprayed on foliage will help transplant shock immensely

guys.......wait until you have a good amount of roots protruding from bottom of pot before transplant. root ball should retain the shape of the pot when removed. if it falls apart, it was too soon to transplant, and damage to roots can be shocking to your plants.

"Defiantly sounds like......"

RAWRRRRRR

Yea, my new one actually bounced back. It was for sure the soil and it just super shocked her


Before



A day later

I just left her alone and let her do her thing, I poured water on her and made sure she was actually in the soil with no air bubbles (I just kept pushing down on the soil so she was compact), took her out from any strong heat (I grow outside so I just placed her in a cooler spot where she's still getting sun just not a lot), and I walked away for a day, didn't look at her, touch her, nothing even though I wanted to baby her. Now she is good and it only took her a day. I think the other plant I got was bad when I bought her because I haven't had any issues transplanting my others girls. All though I have transplanted them all in the same soil, my others didn't wilt but it stunted their growth for about a good week. I say just have patience and maybe it will turn around?

Maybe this will help you grower777? I don't know if yours was the same problem. But I got nervous when my first one did that so i understand your stress. It's sad when you lose one.

I had and have the same problem now. What I did was water the wilted/droopy plant and put her alone in a cool environment around 65-70 degrees. After a few days she perked right up. Now I did the same thing to my autoflower. I know you're not supposed to transplant autos, but I've been having great success. I'm just hoping that success continues. Good luck

You can cut the base off a soda bottle, remove the cap so heat can exit, and use it as a mini-dome for a small plant having a hard time hydrating.

Hi pic number 4 I would stake the branches and get rid of 2/3 of lower growth lollipop watch your plant flourish
