I transplanted in a bigger pot and in two days started drooping and leaves pointing down.. what's the sign, can you help me? This is 20 days in veg, grew so fast I am surprised, but I have such problem now. In pics there is 2nd day after transplant and then 3rd day. Recovering?

Yeah @Benzels, mate you are right.. at first I thought this was problem caused by underwater, because the symptoms started not the same day, next day.. thats why I gave it one more water because I met on another forum, that maybe after transplant water will not cover whole soil and roots will be dried out.. and for now it's second day I haven't watered and as you advised I wont water next days.. at this moment I haven't seaweed extract, I have Armor Si GHE but I don't think its good for in this situation, what do you think? Also @Organoman mentioned that it can be also light distance problem, before transplant I hang it 23cm above the top and After transplant I left it so, now I increased it more higher , it's 150w hps grow light.. I will remember that solution @Organoman and next time I will do so, before and after transplant.. I want to mention, it's growing hour by hour but I don't like how it looks like now, you know.. thanks all for fast response, and now I'm waiting to recover. I increased light distance, sitting it on diet for some days and is I get seaweed I will feed em at once))

Well and truly recovered from the transplant shock, it should not have had any negative, long term effects. Seaweed tonic is great, however the best time to use it is about 12 hours before transplanting and then using half strength solution to water the plant in after the transplant operation. Always a good idea to increase the light height for a day or two after transplanting, or at least until the plant looks like it is growing again and not sulking from transplant shock.

Was just shock and probably too much water on transplant

Transplant shock- your right. Dont worry- it will bounce back. If you can get some seaweed extract and use that for transplanting to avoid shock, it helps alot. I use Seasol but any good seaweed in a bottle will do. For now just dont over water thinking it is drooping from lack of water, its not. if you watered it in well after transplanting as expected, it will only need light waterings for a few weeks ok. Go easy on the water and it will be fine in a few more days. if your new pot in taller than the old- make sure you re adjust the light to same height as before- if new pot is taller then the plant is now closer to the light and could be getting a lil bit of light stress on top of transplant shock. Relax my friend, as long as you dont do too much of anything she will be fine. And I mean dont try to "fix" it will more water, more nutes or more stuffing around. All she needs is more time to recover and for you to keep her room warm, but not too warm, humid, but not too humid, and water but not too much water. Thats it. Seaweed extract helps them bounce back faster but unless you have it on hand, she will be fine by the time you get it. Still, get some for next time, it def helps.

Well it definitely looks better day 3 than day 1. Ive never seen a plant pray directly after a transplant. Hang in there, all great things take time.
