when i transplant i cut an X into the bottom of the rootball...root pruning can be done and it helps the plant more then it hurts it....but to me it looks like a watering issue...i see around the plant the soil is wet while the outside of the soil near the edge of the pot is dry...make sure your watering all the soil in the pot....but i would say its either over/under watered...how much water do you give them and how often?

Really? Very interesting. I have heard of root pruning, but never tried this method. I have some girls that are about to come outta their party cups. Think I''l give this a try. Thanks dj +rep

if its only been 2 days...then it might just be transplant shock..some strains get it more then others...give it a couple more days and when you can tell its dry again...go ahead and water it with a low dose of nutes
cool how water should i put into a 3 gallon pot just a guess
with the leaf edges curling up on some leaves what the grow shop told me was the plant was trying to disperse heat and cant due to toxic build up but the none of the plants have had any nutes added since taken as clone

I once left two clones in their dixies for about 6 weeks and then put them in 3 gallon pots, it took about 2 weeks to see any growth but then suddenly one just went crazy and is now about a foot taller then all of my other plants from the same batch. The other, is a bit smaller than average but is still plenty healthy and is now beginning to flower 4 weeks from transplant.
