Well I went to check on 3 of my babies today and they were completely dug up and laying on the ground. I had 1 of them in a 5 gallon bucket and the other 2 in 3 gallon buckets. They are about 5 weeks old and they were looking great. Well, what ever shitty animal dit it just left them laying by the pot uneaten. I started them in peat pellets and 2 of them still had a part of the pellet attached to the roots. The other was broken and totally ruined. The other two I repotted them as soon as I saw them. They still had good color but they were bent over at the tops. Do you all have any advice, Im gonna try and see if they will survive. Is there anything I can do to help them. After I repotted them they were slouched but they still looked a good green and the leaves were slightly drooping. Do you all think they will die, or should I try and save them. Has this ever happened to any of you. I need some advice this is my first grow. I will try and get some pics tomorrow. Thanks
 
sould I be giving them full sun? I watered the soil good before repotting them. Could I get some advise on what to do? Will the sun be a good thing right now for them since they were dug up? Like I said earlier they are slouched at the tops of the plants but they still have good color and they still have all their stems and leaves. I just hope they don't die on me. Im not even sure if they are male or female yet but I just wanna see if I could get them to live. Is there any type of nutes I can buy that will help or ferts?
 
they should be fine... i just read a story about some breeder who's grow got busted, and the cops went and tossed all of their plants into a dumpster outside of the warehouse they were growing in..
after the popo left, one of the people dived into the dumpster and pulled out some of the plants and replanted them and they were fine...

there are some nutrients that are said to be good for transplant shock, although i forget what they're atm.. i'm sure it would't be hard to figure it out though and maybe buy one of those and use a few times..
i think they will be fine though honestly..
and full sunshine should be ok for them as well.. just watch after them for a few days is all..
 
Should try to avoid blood and bone meal outside. Carnivores think something dead is buried and start digging. Its why they dont care about the plant.
 
Some superthrive would probably help. I would keep them out of direct sunlight until they recover. I had the same thing happen with bloodmeal. It was probably a possum or raccoon

Dude my uncle dumpster dives at this wearhouse were they grow for a clinic and finds so much weed and clones lol.its always baby nugs they don't want and week clones but still grows good.But the nugs are still dank.
 
U might wanna set up some sorta protection around ur plants if ur growin outdoors if ur doin like a gorilla grow or sumptin, if its just ur backyard u might not need such precautions. If its gorilla style I'd say try out makin some sorta fence with chicken wire, or if u don't need to go that far maybe just some tomato cages sumptin like that to keep animals away.
 
i grow in my garden and just had to put up cages because of the @#$&%$%^^ing cat digging up plants
 
Yeah damn cats they like to shit in the dirt, the worst was when I used to play baseball and the cats would shit in the hole where the post was for 2nd base then throw dirt back in there, We hated having to put that base in cause u never knew when u'd find a suprise, Lolz!!!
 
Well, I checked my two babies this morning and they were looking beautiful. Then I went back about 2 hours later and they were drooping bad. I have them in the shade. Is this normal? Do you all think they will come out of it? I hope so.. I bought some Alaska fish fert and give them some...that's all I have done. I could not find any superthrive at my local store...Thanks all
 
Probably major loss of roots. When roots dry out they die. That is why they are wilting, they aren't pulling enough water to sustain the growth.

My trick to stop animals from digging them up is one I came up with.

I place rocks bigger than my hands around the base of the plant and it never fails me.

Try it out..... :)

It will be a slow recovery, but they should be fine.
 
If thats the case and the root system was damaged it might help to almost treat it like a clone, spray it down with water, just plain water even no nutes. That way if the plant is having issues absorbing food thru its roots because of the damage it can also absorb moisture thru the leaves which will help sustain it until it can rebuild its root structure.
 
Duct tape them bitches if there are broken stems. Hell the cannabis plants grows better with stress to it anyways. LOL! I would definitely try my best to save them. You can use scotch tape or even duct tape if you want to fix broken branches. Hopefully it will bounce back. Good luck!
