Ok this is my first time growing weed and 2 b honest i have no idea wat 2 do....my friend called me over and showed me that he had a plant growin in his back yard so i took a look at it and told him it was marijuana, it was from people throwing seeds and stems on the side of his house from all the parties he had during the summer, and it just grew naturally, so he told me 2 take it b4 his mom found it and threw it away. so i brought over a pot and took out the plant and put it into the pot and left it in the sun 4 a bit....now i know ur not supposed 2 take a plant out of its natural environment when its growing so well, but we really needed 2 get it outta there....when i came back for it i noticed it was kinda drooping but i didnt think anything of it...but now its been a day and it just keeps drooping more and more...i have it in my closet with a UV light on it hoping it will go back 2 normal....i also put in about 10 worms to make the soil better and i threw in some chopped up vegetables 4 the worms 2 turn into compost....but im really scared its going 2 die...PLEASE HELP!!!!
Here are some B4 and after pictures

Google 'UV light'. Why would you give it to your plants? They grow outside in sunlight. They light light in the visible spectrum.
REad the link in my sig for basic instructions.
Looks to me like you mangled the root ball during the transplant. How wide a circle did you cut out around the base of the plant?
Vegetables? You're trying to grow plants, not worms. They want plant fertilizer. It takes a LONG time for compost to become useable, and requires bacteria and fungi, not just worms, to happen.
What is your grow space like?

i heard it helped grow them...and the chick that sold it 2 me told me that her plants grow good with them...and i knew she grew her own weed cause she was high...i cant keep them inside cause i havent moved outta my moms house and i have the same problem as my friend...well i started digging about like 4 inches cause i didnt know where the roots were at but when i got further down i noticed it was growing on top of a cement stepping stone and the base was at a 90 degree angle and i made sure 2 dig as far away from the roots as possible and lifted it out as gently as possible...dude idk like i said i have no clue wat im doin...i was just doin all i could think of...and i am broke right now cause i just started a new job and litterally cant afford most of the stuff that every expert weed grower uses....i did read ur link though and it really did help me understand what i need 2 do...especially with the 1 titled "Shopping list for a soil grower who is on a tight budget"...my space is about 22"x14" it has plenty of space and idk but i put foil on the walls all around the plant and hung the light about 19" above the plant...its looking horrible now...do u think there is anyway 2 revive it?

Hey man sorry about your plant, I know it can be sad seeing a beautiful plant and then watching it slowly die... I feel like you should just get rid of it. That plant looks good as dead. I say as soon as you get more money, you should start again.

WARNING: 'SuperThrive', probably the MOST over-rated, over-advertised product of all time, must be used carefully ... using more than the directed 1-2 DROPS per gallon, is likely to do harm to your young seedlings ... it is good stuff for building ROOTS (which is why they can make all those exaggerated claims) ... plants depend on a good rooting network ... the first few days during germination, and especially during cloning, SuperThrive is a helpful tool :thumbsup: ... but, take all those microscopic-typed claims on the label as just 1940's era hype, reminiscent of the 'medicine-shows' of yore, with a huge dose of skepticism ... you don't want the plant building roots during the period it is focused on building flowers, anyway ... :smokin:
