Urgent< need help fast<biggest plants youve ever seeen

i recently had to move 4 of my 15 ft + plants of the ground into the biggest pots i could find due to parental problems, i know, living with your parents sucks, but anyways i put them in the pots, gave them lots of water, transplant fertilizer, and have given them 3 waterings with superthrive, i also moved them into a spot i thought would be shady enough, but apparently it wasnt and alot of the leaves shrivled up and are brown and crispy, the plants were decently damaged during the transplant but there was nothing i could do about it, when moving 15 ffoot plants, damage is innevitable. but the superthrive seems to have started new growth, because new fresh green leaves are showing up, i think im going to move them into a shadyer spot so the sun does not contiunue to burn, dry up, and shrivel the leaves, do you think this will help? and also i was wondering should i trim the dead leaves off? and how else should i trim it to help stimulate new leaf growth? any other suggestions would be greatly appreciatted.

that thing needs alot of water dude. put a hose under it barely on for like 1 hour lol

water it with just water overwater it a little and it should come back that happend to me be4

okay thanks guys for the help, do you think i should cut the dead leaves off it aswell?

that sativa looks like shit.. wtf did u do????

Yea, cut the dead. Next time cover the plant with a sheet or something to minimize the effect of the sun on it. WHat happened is she got stressed not only by the move, but by the huge blast of the sun. If you covered it (simulating a really cloudy day) the plant wouldn't be coping with as much stress

water her well... and let her chill for a few days and see what that does.. do not feed again untill she looks better

This is exactly what happened. You've got to ease plants into the sun from inside light. I had some that I moved on a +100 day and within 10 minutes of going out half were drooped over. I had to practically bury the things in tall grasses.

dude put that thing in the ground and you probably wouldnt ever have to water it and that wont ever happen again

how big are the pots? When you dug them out of the ground how much root matter did you dig up? I would put a 15 foot plant in one of those plastic 55 gallon drums. Think about how extensive the root systems has to be and how much water it takes to sustain that much vegetation. If a 3 foot plant needs 2 gallons of water every 2-3 days and at least a 5-7 gallon pot, then....

In container gardening when there is not enough root structure to bring enough water to the leaf matter then you get major drooping and it looks like underwatering, but no matter how much water you give it the roots can't uptake it fast enough. Something to think about.

And unfortunately the yield will be shit even after they recover -unless- you give them -a lot- more root mass. I would say 100gallons if they aren't even flowering yet, or you may as well just cut those down to 5' plants before flowering them so at least you get some good dense bud rather than a spindly 15'plus long twig of popcorn. (been there, done that)
