I just transplanted my clones into soil yesterday and when i looked at them today they were all drooping. I don't know what's going on, I need help urgent.

Without seeing pic I would suggest putting clear plastic bags lightly misted over the plants for a couple of days.

This - and make sure it's not too wet drowning the plant. This will make the plant droopy too but since it's only a day ago i think Realstyles is spot on.

Transplant shock, they look healthy to me and I am going to go ahead and say with proper care they will go back to normal soon.

You might want to tie the one almost falling over straight up to a stick.

I just put plastic bags over them so I'm hoping this works. Thanks.

So I have had them under plastic bags for the last 2 days and when I checked on them today they all seem to be drooping worse then before. I have the ones that are drooping bad tied up to a stick. Now what?

They want to have only indirect sunlight untill they stop wilting - i bet they rise after 3-4 hours in the shade.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for the next couple of hours ;O) I'm very sure it will do it - plants look very healthy.

I have mine crossed as well.
These ones look a lot healthier than my other 3, my other 3 I planted a day before and now they have some yellowing on the leaves. They are also a different strain and much larger. I think that i might have over-water those ones not thinking, so I'm hoping that they come back to life soon.

Yes - a very common mistake - just because we want to do them good. They need the air just as much as water. I let mine dry out to the point juuust before wilting - very dry and they love it - then soak.

I think I may have realized my mistake, I never watered the second set of clones when I put them in. I just watered them since they hadn't pick up at all in the last 3 hours.

Brimi, thank you for the advice about putting them in the shade, I did just that and watered them and now they look to be perfect. If you wouldn't have mentioned it I would have left them out in the sun to die. I really appreciate the help.

Hi Stiffy - so happy to hear that. Yes - every time you do something stressfull to a plant - like transplanting, hard trimming, root trimming etc. it will like to rest a little.
Anyway - that's great to hear - happy growing buddy!
