Here's a couple of pics at my BTK Kush at 40 Days veg. (Killer Queen x C99) x C99 before it was completely stableized) x LA Confidential) She's even a slow vegger, I'm thinkin' your plants got stressed. Did you harden them off before you put them outside?



For size comparison, she's about 90 lbs.

Don't know what you mean if I harden my plants but I did LST my plants and when I transplant them in the ground the plant was all stress out and really droopy I thought my plants were gonna die so I feed them with hygrozyme and the roots got strong and I also gave them alot of shades and they bounce right back up and now I don't know if I should remove all the shades so they will get more direct sunlights so should I remove the bottom leaves and see if they grow faster?

I wouldn't remove anything unless it's severely damaged. "Hardening off" is exposing your plants to the outdoors a little bit at a time. This allows the plant to adapt to it's natural enviroment. The enviroment of an indoor grow is completely different from the harsh conditions of the great outdoors and plants need to be subjected to the outdoors a little at a time or they can get stressed real easily. Your plants should bounce back but it might take a while. So if your going to harden off your plant, put it outside for a couple hours then move it back inside. Do this daily and every couple of days expose your plants to the outdoors a little longer. When you finally put your plants outside for good they will be able to handle the harsh conditions and you will see less stress. One thing to remember, don't over do it. Just because you're seeing stress don't try and over-correct the problem. If your plants are strong enough they should grow out of it.

I've harden the plants already for like 3 weeks and then I put them in ground. The plant is getting better also I've given the plant verde nitrogen and it seems to help. how often should I give them nitrogen?
