plants thought it was xgames

Few of my smaller plants stunted after I transplanted them about 4 weeks into flower(i know its a bad idea to do so but they had to much roots.)

When a plant stunts does it finish at the same time as if it didnt stunt? 0r does it have to make up for lost time?

Also how greatly will it effect my yeild???

Thanks for the info +reps

It all depends on how the recover after transplanting!
Transplanting shouldn't be stressful unless you damages the roots!
Hopefully they like what you put'em in and they get a big growth spurt!

they never drooped or anything but it seems like there not taking in water>? maybe its because of the extra dirt.

Generally speaking if you cause too much stress you end up delaying flower by a week or so, depending how long the stress lasts. Worst case scenario is your plant stresses too much and turns hermie on you, so just check for that for a while and chop her when its ready.

They are on an internal clock, even the photo ones, so stunting them during flowering, it'll definately add to your wait time to finish but I don't think it should be too big a problem. You may even end up with a bigger yield even with the stunting if it was getting root locked.

sound good to me Thanks for the help everyone + rep for all

This is 100% true! I had the sjame exact thing happen my first grow, and I did get an unuseually large yeild. I think it was due to the expanded root mass it had after it recovers. Just be patient and wait for the plant to tell you when its ready.

You say it stunted but if it didnt show signs of stress it was probably just taking a bit of time to stretch its legs and grow some roots to seek out the goodies in the new soil. Peace

Before I transplanted it was losing many leaves that were yellowing way to fast..A lot of the bottom leaves are gone, but after the transplant the yellowing stopped right away. The only thing I thought it was not sucking up water. But I only checked the outer ring of the pot.and not really were the roots would be, so thats probly why it was moist.hopefully it keeps getting larger because these nugs are rock hard dense and stinky as skunk and vomit

Yellow bottom leaves could be overwatering or needing more nutes probably. Peace

isnt being over watered. It did get under watered for 3 days, that was when the yellowing happened. Could it be that? as for nutes I dont think its that either because they showed slight signs of nute burn, once i stopped the feeding they responded well. They vegged for about 2-3 weeks and flowered 5 weeks in a party cup before I transplanted. I thought it was bad ph? becuase i feed them so much in such little cups. and all the one gallon pots look nice forest green.

Its probably just giving the roots enough space to absorb nutes, cramped conditions and lots of roots in a small space dont work that well at absorbing nutes from the soil. Root hairs get inaffective to some extent on older roots, plant is constantly making new roots and never really totally stops root production even in flowering.

If the transplant helped and stopped yellowing then theres your problem, bigger pots seem to give you bigger plants, dont worry if that stopped the yellowing as it seems an easy enough answer.

As for underwatering, well depends how bad, constant underwatering probably make the plant slightly wilted and dry looking, nute deficiencies slightly. Underwatering once is no biggy if it wasnt for long. Completly dry soil can wither and kill of root hairs so depends how long the soil was dry for and how bad the underwatering really was.

I hope you can draw your answer from this and hope you are telling me the plant is no longer dropping those bottom leaves and they are not turning yellow any more. Peace
