Transportation Too Much Shock??

Hey everbody,

So here's the deal.... I was growing a plant outside about 20mins from my place and I went to check up on it yesterday. I noticed that it was pushed over a bit after we had a storm two days ago and decided to take it home with me. So I packed it into a breathable box I had in my car and loosely placed the lid on top (just as I was getting in my car a cop drove up to do his rounds what are the chances hahaha)

Anyhow, when I brought it inside I saw that it wilted a bit. I figured that this was natural being..
1. I was transporting it in a box
2. it was being moved from outdoors to indoors
3. different light source

however about 12hrs later and its still not perking up. Could this still be the plant being in shock? I don't imagine that that kind of transport would put it into too much shock that should last too long.

Any advise or questions??? Oh and the plant is about 3wks old at 7in.

Thanks!!!

in transplanting, i usually associate wilt with root damage. this isn't always the case, but seems to be the cause most of the time.

i use a product called superthrive. a friend told me about it a few years ago, how it's the best stress reliever in the world, blah blah blah....

i tried it, and i'll never be without it again. st is the best root helper i've ever used. i've dug up plants and ripped over 50% of the rootstock away, and used st and had no wilts or lag from shock.

hope this helps.

I agree with kind princess. I transplanted an outdoor plant from a pot to the ground but i fucked the roots up bad and it wilted for a while and i had to tie a stick to it to keep it upright but it stood on its own in a few days.

Isn't he asking about transporting?

Stoners!!!

haha yeah, I meant transporting, not transplanting.

The info about the stress reliever is really useful though. However I don't think id be able to get it in the time my plant needs it. i guess we will just see.

they sell superthrive at walmart...

the wilting is most likly from the temp change going from outside to inside. the Transport doesn't shock them that bad.
