2 weeks old and just transplanted

I had 4 lil plants but one of them was lot smaller than the other 3 so I just took it out of the veg room and disposed of it. Anyways guys, my question is this, when transplanting one of them a bit of the dirt on the bottom became stuck at bottom of the container and a little bit of the roots ripped of the rest of the soil, will this majorily affect the plant or will it just need a couple days to get past the stress of it? Also the stems were still fairly thin and 2 of them are slightly bent at base of stem slouching over, and leaves seem bit more droopy after I transplanted also. Is this going to make any major effects to them or just let them do their thing and hopefully keep growing good like they have been? Any advice on this would be sweet, thanks dudes:weed:

You will be fine, MJ is a very hardy plant, and you have done nothing detrimental to them... Next time just be a bit more careful when you are transplanting, and the one you tossed, you know MJ gets sudden growth spurts at all different stages.. The one you tossed could have well been your biggest plant, remember.. You are only 2 weeks into this. You have a long way to go, so make sure you do not get impatient with your girls :) :leaf:

If you severed some roots and now the plants are drooping, they have transplant shock. As long as you didn't destroy too much of the roots, they should recover.

It wasnt a whole lot of root, just a thin layer of dirt in the bottom of one of those sour cream containers that didnt pop out properly and I seen a little root laying down there. I was actually more concerned about the stems being bent a bit and leaning sideways so I might spike the dirt and tie them for extra support. I actually havent got rid of the smaller plant yet, I just took it out of the veg room and was going to just let it grow in my living room for fun, but after listening to your comment I will jus place the lil girl back into the veg room and see how she does, I just wasnt sure because the shell of the seed came of a bit early I think and that particular plant look a bit more gibbled as far as the leafs go compared to the other 3 plants. Anyways thanks dudes, I can use all advise I can get! :joint::leaf:

No, It wont kill your plant but it will probably shock it and cause it to stop growing for up to a week.

Thanks for the info, I guess it wasnt that bad at all because its be couple days now and they been growing fine with no problems, the stems strightened back up fairly fast, within 24 hours and the leaves are getting big now and the aroma is starting to come off the plant now, the strain is Northern Lights and its my 1st time growing it. Hoping for great results. Thanks guysbongsmilie! :)

A tip that works for me is flip the container upside down (make sure to hold onto the plant) and give the bottom of the container a couple taps. I have ripped more than my fair share of roots transplanting and have never had a plant die on me. Good Luck.

That how I did it, I was squeezing the container more so towards the surface of the dirt first while upside down where as I should of started squeezing the bottom portion on the container 1st i think. The plant are fine and healthy though right now so nothing too terrible went wrong. By any chance, do you live in Forth St John BC? just noticed the 'fsj' in your name, just curious cuz I liver there before... thanks for the info bro
