Make sure the plant doesn't get direct hard sun/lights and heat. Also cut of some of the plant. My rule of thumb is, that if you cut off half the roots cut of half the green leaf or a little less. What happens when it looses half the roots is that all that leaf make too much water vaporize compared to the now smaller root net.
Hope this makes you understand your plant a bit better.

First i didn't understand. I must be a kind person for not getting that - even before. Agreed"Found"? Somehow, I'm having trouble with your use of that word...

Marijuana plants don't just grow in the wild near your house. I mean, MAYBE someone tossed a seed there and a plant grew. Odds are you just ripped off someone.
You took their beautiful outdoor plant, tore it out of the ground because you knew it was someone else's and didn't want them coming back for it, and now it's dying on you.
And you come here looking for advice... I'm going to wish you Bad Luck. You deserve it.

Thank you very much for the advice! and i found the plant growing right in the open in a community park. i cant believe nobody ever saw it. and yes it probably was someones plant i guess i feel kinda bad. but it was going to die or get taken by police if i left it there anyways

its never started flowering and its too late in the season to keep it outdoors in ohio. and it was in a very noticable location. And when i found it i was tripping on acid, and i wasnt thinking correctly, and i thought it was a gift from god. hmmm i feel really terrible if i took someones baby :/
keep it real.

ok thanks everybody! i cut almost half of the top off the plant. and ive just been keeping one halogen light on during the day, not directly pointed at the plant. i also trimmed off the bottom leaves because they were turning yellow and brown. she seems to be pretty strong, but ill let you guys know how she turns out!
thanks again to everyone for the advice!
