Unfortunately,

usually it doesn't work out when you take a hydro plant and turn it into a soil plant.

The plant is in shock from the 6 hours of idle time.

might wanna keep it moist, spray gently and water with a few drops of Superthrive and see if you can save her.

Good luck :)

If you have superthrive you should give that a try. Be very very light on the application though. We're talking a few drops in a gallon. Superthrive for me has always been super concentrated so I am very light with it.

ive had the superthrive in the mail on its way here for a week now,so i hope she can get through the next few days till it gets here..im goin to just try and get another,or maybe even just a cutting and ill root it myself. thinking back on it i was kinda rough and careless when making the transplant.
i just watered some more and misted. would it be better for recovery for the medium to be more on the damp side,or more soppy?

oh yeah if there are exposed roots they should be fine.. ive transplanted from 4x4 rockwool into soil and had no problems just for the first week untill the roots took off in the soil i kept the rockwool wet watering it a small amount everyday

ok well that one totaly curled up and died..so i got 2 more,and 1 cheese..this time rather than have my freind grab it and let it sit around waiting for me,i took the ride with him and took some fresh cuttings,dipped into some rooting gel,then put into jiffy pellets..now i got those 3,plus 7 of my own in the humidity dome on top of my laptop untill i get a heat mat. hopfully they will take root quickly,if at all..and i can put them right into my potting mix. any pointers or adivce would be appreciated
