1st time grower with dying plants

hey, im a first time grower and think my plant is dying, and dont know why. ive got two small plants about 2-3 weeks old, one short and bushy, and one tall and thin.
i originally took them out of the ground about 3 days ago and transported them by car to my house in a small container, where they were squashed. i left them overnight and by morning they had fixed themselves upright. i replanted them in a small pot, with potting mix
ive got the, in good potting mix, in good sunlight, and water them everyday with a water nuturient supplement called lucky bambo. the top is strong and dark green, while lower leaves are turning brown at the end, with a few small brown circles scattered on them and have just fallen downwards. the bottom most leaves have died and shrivelled, and i think my whole plant is going to die.
ive read all the guides and handbooks etc, and nothing really helps, so can anyone out there help give some good pointers to maintain your plant out doors in a pot, and not in the ground

I'd say give them nutes every OTHER watering cuz' you might be overloading them. Also, Transplanting puts the plant through a lot of stress which seems to be going on with your plants. Did you plant them back into the same soil you had them in to begin with? That helps transplanting. If I were you, I would plant 2 or 3 more because when you stress a plant out it's more capable of being a male.

All you have is time. You just have to wait and see if they survive. Good luck.

P.S. I'd fill those pots up with soil all the way to the top on the next grow. You gotta give room for the taproot (main root) to grow downward. Actually dude, I just looked at those pics again and you definitely need more soil in there. What is that 3-gallon bucket?

I think SWP is pretty much spot on, especially since the tips of the leaves are brown. The wilting can also be a sign of overwatering, I think they're past the stage of needing such regular waterings. Try letting them dry out a bit, wait maybe three days or so.

i agree i think it can be because of the over watering and the stress due to the transplant i began growing 2 small plants my self one died after he transplant and i was just a few yards away from my house it only took me about 5 min to get i back into soil theres so many aspects of there growth and things that can mess it up i elt with browning tips and i noticed it was cuz i was watering to much good luck bro

i didnt read all the posts and im sure this was stated above but the plants you described are over watered and over fertilized. they are babies and dont need much food at all.

Ya that is all true but when you also transplant into fresh soil
the plant will feed off the nutes that the soil carrys, sometimes adding
extra nutes causes the leaves to turn brown and fall off.:weed:
