ok so im growing my first plants and they were doing really well until i saw some dudes near my house in the woods where they were growing...in a state of panic when i saw the dudes leave i went and dug up my plants (quickly) placed them in individual pots and moved them into my backyard again....not my biggest plant (4 feet tall) is all wilting then by moring seems to pull out of it and by midday is wilting again....this has been going on for three days and im freaking!!!! what can I do to save it. I have been keeping the soil moist the whole time. how can i bring her back to a healthy plant fast!

If it is fine in the morning, then wilting midday it is probably a water issue. If it was in the ground then it more access to water than in a pot. Probably still in shock a little bit too from getting dug up too. Just baby her for a few days and she should be fine, plants are pretty resilient

leave it alone......theres a reason they call it weed....it will grow in the harshest situations....you have to let the roots settle in and start growing.....keep the soil moist but not drenched.....dont try to feed it yet...you will only burn the roots....

thanks guys they are outside so its hard to control the climate ya know. so im guessing light water a few times a day and maybe less direct sun?

two of my other plants which are about two footers are fine like it never went down...weird
thats because their root base wasnt as big when you dug them out. you shocked the larger ones and the more you compensate the more problems will occur. as someone said previously get those roots going again.
 
just freaked out some of the leaves are drying up too....should i give it less direct sun for a few days too?
Yes less sun!!!when i transplant the first day i always keep it in total shade,next day partial shade under trees,day after that based on how comfortable the plant looks i'll put it in the sun,but keep an eye on it,if i notice NE wilting back to partial shade,and all plants react diff when transplanted,so whats good 4 1 plant might not be the same 4 a diff 1.
 
my leaves already look damaged all hanging low and wilted the main stems are still high but all the leaves are hanging super low....ahhhhh
ya that sucks,keep it shaded and if any of those leaves die,as in turning crunchy-cut off the crunchy parts of the leaves,so the undead parts can survive...

So the shade seems to be helping....I also am keeping the soil nice and damp along with praying water on the whole plant with a spray bottle

Will this cause them to flower to early?
no. like said here, keep your plants shaded for a while to overcome the root stress. there are rooting complexes/agents that are said to stimulate rapid root growth to help fix this. such as rhizotonic, root juice / accelurator etc.
