i just helped moved a med size female (re veggied so i know its female) and the dirt around the roots was very very lose and when i dug it up with the shovel the dirt just totally fell off the roots exposing most of it.

i then moved it to another location and it was wilting before i put it in the new hole. i left and got water and came back and the thing is wilted as hell - every leave and stem are bent down.

will this come out of shock or is she a gonner? anyone have this happen and have a story? if nothing else we can smoke the leaves but i would hate to see her go she was very nice looking (very tall)

Shock is when the plant is wilted or if you were to take and inside plant, outside and set it in the sun, it might not be able to adapt to new conditions of life, it usually stops dies down and then slowly get better, SLOWLY...

do you smoke your leaves or something? lol as far as your plant goes, it will be fine. You've learned a valuable lesson.

Weird mate. Whenever I transplant my plants, they don't seem to go into any type of shock-phase. Even with I threw them into bigger pots and the dirt around the roots wasn't thick enough to make a ball, and all the roots exposed, everything just grew like with normally would.

Guess I just have special plants...

thanks for the replys, and yes i have before smoked leaf haha. one time i made a huge sour apple blunt of popcorn and leaf. got me waisted. if it does die i dont want it to totally go to waist. it smelled really dank before we moved it so im sure it would give u some sort of buzz from the leaf.

If worse comes to worst and you have to kill it, or it dies, but take it all and make some hash, that aught to tickle your fancy even better. Better, a little, on your lungs too.

perking up yet? sounds like your plant went into a little more than shock when every single leaf was drooping. I think you may have not been careful enough with the roots. I moved a 5ft lady a few weeks ago and used a shovel like the one below and went very outside where i thought the roots would be and dug down deep all the way around with the extra long spade. Hope your lady makes it.

ya i used a spade shovel but not long like yours (wish i had one like that haha) but i made a circle around it away from where i thought the roots were then i stuck the shovel down deep as i could and pulled upward and pulled up on the stock of the plant at the same time. almost all of the dirt fell away from the roots because it was very lose and had a ton of worms in it ( a good thing i think ) but i had to move it.

my pal told me that it has perked up some and doesnt look like it did when it first went into the ground so ill post again in a week if u want to subscribe and tell u hows she doing. oh ya as a final word, re-vegging kicks ass! i smoked almost this whole plant and i didnt harvest the whole thing i left the bottom branches and buds and this thing grew a branch out like 4 foot tall haha. weed is truly an amazing plant and grows like its name

OK NEW UPDATE! the plant has completly recovered and is no longer wilting (sweet yes i know :P) but the problem now is the whole bottom half is completly yellow. i gave it some MG Big bloom or superbloom w/e its called and hopefully that will help. i no i dont have pics but you can imagine the top half green and the bottom yellow

oh ya i put in a whole tsp of fertz (the spoon is 1/4 tsp so i gave 4 of those) then mix what i thought would be around a gallon of water or more.

any advice?

Seems like a lot of nute. But from what I've read, depending on how much time you've been flowering it, it should be normal for you to see it yellow on the bottom, as the plant starts to store energy to put it into the buds.
