Rushed Grow (help!)

[DestroyTheOrcs]

Ok, so heres what ive got going..

i recently transplanted a plant i found growing in my flowerbed, and move it indoors..
the thing was already 10 or so inches tall.. pretty stretched..
It was growing in pretty hard, shitty dirt. Looked really healthy tho!
so i went to a home and garden center and picked up some good soil, blood meal, perlite, and EWC. mixed up the soil with some stones in the bottom for drainage.. thats pretty much it. didnt use any particular ratio for mixing soil.. just eye balled it, and didnt put too much EWC or blood meal in.. incase of being too intense for the plant. I dug the plant up, being careful not to dammage roots.. and put it in a pail of water to gently break the soil off.. too tough, so i just put the plant with the clump right in the new soil.. bad idea??..

I have 2-42W CFL lamps about 3 or 4 inches away from the plant.. put some tinfoil around it for some light efficiency.. (kind of a rushed deal, otherwise i would have used something a little better than tinfoil and tape.... hah)
The plant has grown some since being outside, which is reassuring! but i checked it out today and its not as perky as it was before.. looks alittle wilted.. Also looks like it hasnt grown at all today.

I have a fan gently oscillating by it as well.
Ive only watered it once since the transplant yesterday.. (mixed in a small amount of scott's all purp. grow fert in distilled water..) and put about a cup of water in the pot...

is it over/under watered?.. too close to the light?..
am i doing this right?

Its my first grow, alittle unprepared, bt hopefully i can make something happen!
any help would be huge!!

thanks!

Here's an update..
she's not getting any better...
anyone have a diagnosis?...
heat stress? water issues?..

It's possible that it is just stressed. While I haven't done what you're doing it seems to me that the plant should perk up soon. It just figured out that something has changed and it's confused.

makes sense..

yeah, im just alittle worried. It hasnt grown at all in the last 2 days..

i think i see tin foil? you prolly wanna lose it if it is, replace with some flat white ceiling paint, might be a tad overwatering from what i can see looks a little burned maybe the temps are a little too high?

just some quick fixes shibby

[shibby8]

wow sorry if i would have read your thread through i would have seen it was tin foil, lol my bad

anyways what i do is just water the plants when the top of the soil is dry not bone dry but mostly dry, dont drown it, just enough so the soil is damp all the way through

and if you dont have paint use some emergency blankets from wallmart there cheap

only thing i see is probably shouldnt have gave it nutes yet but u probably didn't give it alot and it's not a big deal but it's used to that "crap" soil and then gets moved and smacked with some nutes but dont worry i'm sure it will turn around:thumbsup:
