dude i ripped my baby's roots in transplant

shes gonna die right? the root ball was intact i think. but it was only the size of a dime. and the smaller roots were all still in the cup. nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo:(

I broke both my knees at the same time 20 years ago. I think she will be ok:thumbsup:

thanks for bode of confidence but i think the bitch is dead. the leaves are already dropping

how big is the plant and the container you tried to up pot out of?

If it was a seedling and less than a few inches tall there's a chance she'll make it. There is a reason it's called WEED!!!! ;) Just put her back in the same pot and water her with PH'd water.

Bit of advice tho, Do NOT add any extra fertilizers thinking your gonna help kick new root growth into overdrive. Odds are a strong dose of fert after that kind of trauma could kill her by burning the already damaged roots to a crisp. (Only mention that because a girlfriend of mine nearly wiped her peppers out doing that! :o )

If she's much bigger than that, you might try cutting the larger fans in half to reduce transpiration (water loss thru the leaves) and if possible put a dome over her, treat the damaged plant like a clone if you get my drift.

or give it more night

its only about two weeks old just getting fan leaves and more new growthWAS ON THE WAY I CAN POST BEFORE AND AFTER photos but im sure i just got alot oof time to wait and see to come thanks for any replys

Yes, What kind of light?

Probably diffuse it a little tho, (unless you only have her under a single CFL anyway), so put her in a shaded corner or something, if the damage is as bad as your leading on it'll need to focus on healing the roots, not on photosynthesis, but she's still gonna need to have some energy.

Good luck!

im using two cfl's 5000k each. it bounced back strong after a night cycle but now a couple of the widest fans leaves feel like they are moist and drooping again. its now about mid day and looking worst but i decided to turn off the lights and hope for the best. thanks for the info, one more thing should i try a root stimulator soulution.

You probably shouldnt be transplanting that small in the first place. Keep at her, she might make it. i usualy wait till plants roots are larger to transplant.

Good luck and sorry for the rude responce. I get like that sometimes:stoned:

Carefull with messing around with light cycle, MJ's a photo period sensitive plant, anything less than 13 hours of daylight can induce flowering and the change in hormones could stunt the healing process of the roots.

Leave the lights on, perhaps unscrew one of them to soften the amount of light hitting her.

Make sure your not over watering! Over watering will cause the leaves to droop, and will suffocate the regrowing roots. Roots need a certain amount of air to breathe.

As for the root stimulant,.... I would hold off on that until you have a healthy root mass to up pot, most of those are intended to help the plant shrug off minor up potting stress,... this isn't minor, so stimulants or ferts would probably do more harm than good. If you feel it's something you have to do, go ahead with it, but ease into it, 1/4 strength or so.



Calm down, step back from the plant and smoke a bowl. :S5:
