How long does transplant shock last?

I transplanted almost two weeks ago and still have very little growth. I did nute burn them, which no doubt stunted the growth. They seem to be ok now (they're still alive), but they aren't growing. Could they still be in shock? I'm afraid to get them anything but water. I thought it was too hot so I bought a sun shade at the hardware store. It's gonna be 95F today and I have to leave them...poor babies! Any suggestions??

as long as they're alive that's a good sign. if they were gonna die from the transplant I think it would had happen already.

Is it too early to think about more nutes? I feel like they should have doubled in height by now. What should I do to get them growing again? Besides shade them, I've already done that.

were your plants under indoor light ? did you just take them from 18/6 and pop them outside? its a combination of things that is affecting your plants; they are, flowering, nute burned, over watered... thats the shock. let those things be or you're going to end up killing them.

I put 12 clones out last week..it has been 93-100 everyday with no rain..all are fine...heat n sun is fine if they are buried up to the first set of leaves and watered every 2-3 days..I just nuted half strength and they look great...when you transplant them next time make sure the root ball comes out as one clump and gently backfill up to the first set of leaves and water good...no shade..full sun is fine as long as he do not dry out.

dig those outta there, amend the soil with perlite, manure, peat, lime..............re-plant. they are gonna go nowhere in that adobe-ass soil. imo

Eh, I toasted a pair of caseydawg clones by just throwing them out, I put out a hindu skunk and sharksbreath on the same day and they took it like champs, I replaced the 2 casey dawgs with double dream and they took it like champs too. It could just be your strains dont like the heat. Also dont be afraid to dig those up and change the soil just be gentle. I dug up one of my roumlans this year because it look stunted, broke up the rootball and replanted now shes catching up and i had to do the same thing to one of my Tag plants from last year.

I have hawaiian skunk x romulan and some mental floss...pineapple hashplant and some rocklock ..all took to the sun like champs too...I don't believe in "hardening off" I put young seedlings and clones right out in the sun and they explode. Maybe it is strain dependent ..and I just have not encountered strains that need to be babied.

These strains are supposed to be good for outdoor beginners...blueberry diesel, LA confidential, GDP, Bubba Kush. OK, I'm gonna try digging them up and making better soil to put them in this weekend. Can I use any potting soil or compost?
