    Plant wilting after re-potting.

    I have a female jack herer (8 weeks in veg in living soil) which was powering on very nicely but when I when I moved it yesterday the bottom of the pot gave way and soil and plant ended up on the ground.
    it took about 10 minutes to get a new pot, fill it with the living soil and re-plant jack. As I was replanting I noticed that some of the leaves at the top of the plant had changed to a lighter colour and were drooping.
    I put some mychorrizal powder around the root ball and give it a reasonable watering. It appeared to be recovering when I looked at it this morning but after a few hours in the sun it appeared to be as limp as it was last evening. I have two questions regarding this.
    (1) Will this plant recover without using any synthetic nutrients ( I don't use anything on my plants except fortnightly neem oil on foliage and de-chlorinated water ( living soil )
    (2) What are the chances that the shock of what happened could turn this plant into a hermie as I have 3 other females close by.


    Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide
    regards

    I am no expert, but I would mist it several times a day, maybe with some nutes. I might also have dissolved 2 aspirin in water and feed her that (organic would be to get it from willow bark). The aspirin will help with shock, she is going to have root damage which may stunt her growth, but with some TLC she should recover. Might also reduce the light intensity,,,

    BTW neem oil is associated with CHS (CVS), there is a thread on this,,,

      Thanks for your response. She seemed to look better this morning although once the sun hit it was drooping again. Maybe move it out of direct sunlight for a day or two and seeif that helps?????

    Yup, she'll recover. I had to repot a smaller plant recently and moved her to a warmer room, backed off nutes and light for a day or 2. Bigger plants take longer to bounce back (esp. if there was any root/branch damage) but they will.
    ****tent (2x4) and large light (Relassy 300W LED) is in storage for now until I can solve some household electrical issues****

    CoM Stonington Blend soil, distilled water; Liquid Squid amendment if needed, molasses for flowering

      Thanks for your help. Couldn't see any root damage, in fact the roots looked as healthy as any I've seen.

    That's why I like using Peat Pots. Just bury the entire pot. No shock to the plant.

      Thanks for the help. Yeah my other 3 babies are in fabric pots but couldn't get a 4th one in time for planting.

      Yes I absolutely love peat pots. They make everything so easy. No more worry about damaging roots or stunting the growth of a plant. They just keep on rolling on like nothing happened.
