Some one help i transplanted and now my plants are sad!!!

So I have these healthy plants in smart pots outside and they look great they're in fox farm soil. I dug big holes in the ground on my property and filled them up with a mixture of mostly compost and earthworm castings and a little bit of blood meal and green sand....I thought this was a good soil mix but when I put 6 of my 10 plants from the smart pots into the compost mix 3 of them wilted dramatically and all the leaves look dead, but aren't crispy just brown....what do I do or what went wrong do my plants not like being in the new compost mix?

HELP ME PLEASE MY BABIES ARE DYING!!!!

yeh let me know whats up here i think maybe oxygen isnt getting to roots? i have 8 plants that look like this.

Did you rip the roots of those 6 plants by any chance?
Seeing as the plants are already going through so much, I would avoid excessive handling of them, so they can recover.
You need some aeration in your mix. It must get very waterlogged when wet.

Try adding some perlite or a similar material to the mix, and be gentle with the plants.

Good luck dude...

I had one more thing to say, but i'm too high to remember!

Will post once I'm back down to earth!

Maybe you made a hot mix. My guess is it's the soil.

SO what should I do to reverse the process?, or any tips on how much and of what I should put in my soil to not make it "hot".

Probably should transplant it.

Iv transplanted 6 plants from 5g buckets to the ground and none of them looked close to what you are describing.My stayed nice and perked up.

How did you transplant them? did you carefully dig them up making sure the roots were intact? because you can't just rip them out of the ground you have to be VERY gentle with the roots, and it would be wise to have them in the same soil they were in when they were in the pots to avoid shock, then transplant them in a surrounding layer of compost but let them gradually adjust... also not sure but it could be a ph problem i would grab a cheap ph tester and make sure the new soil is where it should be I think 5.5 - 6.5 ... beyond that I think all you can do is leave them be and hope for the best... its possible they might just be going through some stress right now hope it works out dude

I think mine grew an inch after i transplanted them.

so sorry to hear your plants sound critical and your sad. I hate when things are not going as planned. Good luck!

Transplanting with a high phosphorous fertilizer helps the roots get going right away. Vitamin b, mycorrhizae and molasses are all supposed to help as well. None of the stuff you put in the hole should burn them too much besides the blood meal but you said you only put a little...i dont think its the soil i think it was just a rough transplant and maybe you didnt leave enough soil on the roots etc. Just make sure there watered and they'll hopefully pull through.
