I need help figuring out what is wrong with her! She is Green Ribbon and I just bought her a couple days ago. I transplanted her and the next morning when I woke up she looked like this :( I have 4 other plants that are growing beautifully and I have done the same thing with them. Can someone please tell me what happened to her and if I can revive baby? :( I really want to grow this strain.

It's probably transplant shock. Wait and see if it recovers..did you break any roots or anything during transplant?

No all roots were fine and the stem appears to be in good shape too. The leaves are still soft as well.
Sounds like transplant shock. Did you water it?

Giving it another look, the soil looks rather dry.

The other guy said put something over it, you could do that too. It would replicate a humidity dome similar to cloning. A cut 2 liter soda bottle will work.

something clear or clear-ish...... a jar maybe...... open it up a couple times times a day but it should be fine in a day or two......

Yes I watered her. The soil is very moist. I will try putting a big soda bottle over it and see if that helps

she will b ok without a humidity dome over it,just wait a few days and should come round take it out of the room for a day or two if the room is running hot.

All ways water the bottom of the root ball before putting the plant into a bigger pot because the new medium will soak up water far faster than a plant that's has a decent root mass on it.

I would keep pooring water around the stem but poor it slow so the water reaches the roots at the bottom,of the old pot shape if the root system was that good it should have been,or should be next time.

Once a plant is put into new soil it acts has a wicker effect unless you really tamp it down it will pull moisture away from the plant,thats ok but it will take the plant a few days to start pulling water from the new soil,but it will do just fine might just take a day or two

It's a possibility that it will survive without the dome, but it's nearly guaranteed that it will survive with the dome. Your choice.

it won't hurt so i try it,i have never had transplant shock that makes my plants go like that though.
was the old pot you used full of roots because the only thing i can think is the root mass was not that big did it hold the shape of the pot you took it out of

No it was a new pot and yes the plant help the shape of the previous pot it was in. There is def a big enough root mass. There was 3 massive roots coming out of the bottom. That's why I was so thrown back because I do have other plants and I have transplanted them the same way but have not had the same issue.
