Droopy plants after transplanting ? :(

[RAYRAY420SMOKEWEEDEREDAY]

now some of the leaves are getting a faded green look and becoming really brittle
starting to get worried any suggestions or thoughts on what happens or how to fix it. here a picture.
thanks

oh crap, I've had that happen ONCE with a bag of ROOTS.
My theory was it was exposed to an herbicide or something, killed them within two days, and I even transplanted/washed the roots, still died.
I really hope that's not the case here. My plant was a little more of a pronounced sag, the leaves went STRAIGHT down within hours.
The pics a lil weird too, is that against a wall/ceiling or something?

did you water it after the transplant?

if so it is simply overwatered, just wait and be patient

try a light breeze. make sure all the leaves are "trembling" in the breeze.

Thanks for the reply I didn't use any herbicides so shouldn't be it. and there is a couple inches max between top of plants/ lights and walls

best way is to water the plant before you upcan it (in the old pot) and not at all after you upcan it (until of course it needs water) doing this the plant doesn't even know it was moved and takes off rather quickly

Thanks for the tip another quick question when i transplant do i remove all the extra side root when it bounded like so and jus leave the middle root ball or do i drop it into the new pot as is ? ive read to remove all the sides n dirt to root ball but seem to see everyone jus drop them into new pots as is

 

[hogbud]

if root bound, simply score the roots by making a 1/4 to 1/2 inch cut vertically every 1 to 2 inches if not root bound simply plant it

looked at your pic after I posted LOL and that is way root bound, nice tap root though !!!

don't cut the tap root !!!!

Thanks for your quick feed back i appreciate it. and yes i know i waited to long
live n learn i guess. this is my first time

 

[RAYRAY420SMOKEWEEDEREDAY]

umm I know what a tap root is but not sure how to find it in all that. lol as long as in jus break of the soil n excess roots arounds sides of root ball i should be fine right

I like to make a mold of my small pot in the medium im moving to. What I mean is...ill take my party cup, with the plant still in it, and plant it into my new medium firming up the sides and everything and pressing down which in effect creates a mold of the party Cup. Now when I take my plant out I just pop it into the newly-created mold and you're done, stress free

yes, that big coil on the bottom (of your pic) is the tap root playin a little game called spin out, there are pots and paint that prevent it much the way cloth pots air prune

Theyre in transplant shock, give em a few days to a week and theyll be up and runnin again, just let em be unless the pots get really dry then water.

Oh and dont ever fuck wit the roots man, what i do when i transplant is put a few inches off dirt (depending on potsize) i use 3 gals so i put about 6 inches of dirt with extra perlite and water that. Add the rest of the dirt and then put my ladies in there as carefully as possible without disturbing the roots. The roots will quickly expand outta the old dirt in search for water which is at the bottom, i do it with autos without any shock at all.

I got a shiny new silver dollar that says they perk back up.

my next concern is that my new pots aren't much wider just deeper due to limited amount of grow space in closet til i move outside. so if i leave that big long taproot and put it in my just deeper pot that it gonna get all root bound again. where if i go right to the middle root ball i will give it couple more weeks to spread out. sorry not trying to keep contradicting you just making sure i understand all aspects of my final decision
