quick opinion on plant stress

I just moved two 6ft. bush's about a half mile away to a more open area as the original spot chosen was a little "hot box." They are about 3 ft. wide as well (bushy) with many brances. I moved them after watering them earlier today. It is night time. After moving to new location in order to prevent another trip in the near future I tied down the brances to allow more sun to promote more inner growth. I was with them for about 25 minute after relocation. The leaves / branches were not drooping yet from being relocated.

My question is, how much trouble am I going to be in as far as stress goes? I did not think about it untill now which is ...too late. It is night time, supposed to shower overnight til tomorrow after noon when the sun comes out for a few hours.

Will they stress? WIll this affect their male or female sex? They usually start showing sex mid august where I am.. next 2-3 weeks.

What should i do if they start stressing or to prevent any damage from this point?

THANK YOU

water and relocation stress should be the least of your worries if the soil is anything like where you had them b4 im sure theyll be fine, if anything theyll get a little water stressed from all the showers and you watering it b4 u moved it combined, thats so easy to fix just dont water it. Fucking with a plants natural light cycles causes more sex stress than anything else, confuses the hell out of it. theyll be fine

They seemed to be showing female preflowers but I think it is a littler early.

Originally they were getting direct sun from 7:30a.m. til 6 or 7pm. For last 5 days direct sun from 10 -4 and now in the new spot they will be getting direct from 7am until 745-800pm. So lighting schedule been kind of bull shit. This all started because they got too big, bigger than expected in the original location. Had to move .. moved to a holding area with the short time span of sun untill if found a better spot.. the one i just found.

Maybe I didn't read correctly but I didn't notice a container size. If you dug them out of the ground and replanted you can be assured of stress. One product available I use especially for stress or repotting is Super Thrive. One drop per gallon of water, sprayed on you plant and watered into the ground. This will promote more new root growth and ease the shock. Good Luck with the rest of the grow.

Your worrying over nothing. relax.

Yah they have been in buckets and still are --- not the ground. I am most concerned about the light cycle causing stress. No one seems to worried about it though... thanks

No its not, a plant in the vegative phase of life will become sexually mature, something they must do before they flower no matter what. thats why starting from on a 12/12 cycle will not result in immediate flowering, they still have go through a veg phase and force themselves to mature then flower. Normally the preflowers showing its sexually mature along with alternating nodes will show about 3-5 weeks of vegging.
