Transplanting Problems,New Outdoor Grower

[Kannabis Kid]

Hey Everybody, I'm New on the boards and I have a problem I hope you guys and gals can help me with.

A friend and I have been growing what we think are 3 savita's (strain unknown) outdoors. We think there savitas because their rather tall, lanky plants, insted of the big bushy ones. It was a sketchy operation, and we didn't really expect them to grow, we just sort of planted seeds in some soil and lo and behold, we got three females that are all between 3-5 feet tall, all grew quickly and all seemed healthy . Out growing area was recently compromised so we had to pick up shop and move our plants to a new location. The plants were only out of the ground for about an hour, and we moved as much of the old soil as we could into the new holes we dug. The smaller plant is doing great, and it's showing it's first white hairs, but the bigger two are doing poorly. One is wilting badly, it is still green but it's leaning to the side, and the whole plant is very droopy on a whole. This plant actually had to be replanted again today, becuase the first hole we dug was to small. The other, and biggest plant also seems to be sort of droopy, but we think it's because the fan leaves need to be trimmed back, but we are unsure if we should do it now because we assume the plants are still stressed from the move. The plants are in a small clearing getting about 12 hours of light a day, so I guess it's fair to say there on the 12-12 cycle.

So my questions are;

1. What can I do to help the wilting plant grow into it's new surrounding's better?
2. How long should we wait before trimming the fan leaves on the biggest plant so that we don't send it into even more shock.
3. If these are in fact Savita's, how much can I expect from each plant, I was told somewhere between 1-1.5 ounces becasue there sativas, which tend to produce less.

I am new at the growing thing, and I amazed our plants have made it this far, so any help/feedback to help keep them alive would be great.

Thanks,

my guess would be you broke the tap root on the 2 and their dying cuz they go really deep when outside n its hard to dig them up without hurting them,dont think theres anything you could do really .mabye someone else has some ideas

hope im wrong ,good luck

[bruiser]

Dude depends on how much damage was done to the overall root system?,right now your plant is lacking water simply because most of the watering roots were left in the previouse hole lol,best thing I could say to do is try and foilage feed your plants with water as much as possible until roots once again develop,try soking the leaves and over all plant with water a couple of times a day,put garbage bag over plant to maintain moisture,it's alot of work I guess but it could be done,you almost have to treat your mature plant like you would a clone of a plant,giving it water through the leaves until the stem breaks forth with roots,keep it out of the sun for a few days shade it as much as possible,and remove alot of foilage(leaves) after all these leaves draw alot of water and in your case you don't have alot of water to to pass around,,,,,,,,,,,it may take may not,,,,it's worth a try I guess so late into the season may be worth it!.good luck............could you make a humidity dome big enough for the plant?,I thought grabage bag over plant after a good soaking!,try to come up with a idea to keep moisture in with the plant,but don't forget to take the bag off every now and then to allow fresh air in,,,try it,what do you have to lose?

Thanx guys, I actually tied the very droopy plant to a support last night, so hopefully that'll help it stand back up on its own. It's actually been raining alot where we are (several showers a day), so hopefully that helps them out. As for the garbage bag, I think we'll try that on the weakest looking plant for a couple days and see how it works, I'll update. Again thanx for the advice/tips.

Wow, the things people do stoned...

a plant needs all the leaf it can have especially after a move,
dont trim nothing
water it and hope for best
not sure why ya thing ya need to trim anything off?
only reason i would see doing that is Indoor and the lights blocked on part of plant by leaf,then maybe i would trim it
outdoor,i see no reason to do.

[Kannabis Kid]

Cool, I guess the reason i thought I needed to take them off was because every guide i've read is for indoor growing. Go figure.

Thanx

Well his problem was he had a damaged root system after all they were torn in the ground when he pulled them,therfore his plant need water as much as it could,and more leaves then less would have had more of a draw on what little water he had to offer,same thing with clones,cut the leaves half way and plant uses less water.....he brought himself back to a clone postion in a way by destroying the root system that was first developed

I do have a new question, a friend whose growing a couple of clones outdoors that he got from his brother. The are budding, and today he showed me something he thinks is suspect. The was what seemed like an unusual amout of black furry stuff covering the buds, he thought it was fungus and asked my opinion, I wasn;t sure if it was an excess of resin or some sort of fungus...anybody have any thoughts? It furry and blackish brown, I thought it was possibly one of those nasty fungus's you hear about destroying whole crops and such...anyway, a response is always welcome...
