I’ve never been more upset. Is it too late to replant?

    Are they photoperiod plants? As long as they have a reasonable root structure left they’ll likely survive if you plonk them back in the ground.

      They are photoperiod, but the roots left are pretty gnarly. Most of the roots stayed in the ground.

        It’s a weed, not an orchid. Given the chance to survive they usually do.

        I think you’ve got a good chance of saving them, especially since they are photos. They’re being subjected to extreme stress that would likely herm autos as they would still be recovering at the same time they’d be transitioning. You’ve still got a long growing season left, plenty of time for photos to bounce back and relax a bit before flower. I’d still watch them like a hawk for stress herming, but I think the odds are in your favor to save them.

            No worries mate. It’s easy to put the plants on a pedestal and forget what they are when you care about them so much. Of course damage has been done and it’s a substantial setback, but I don’t think all is lost. I sent you a message on SXC if you want to chat there.

            Replant and water them really well because you need the soil to bind along the remaining root bed. If you’re doing organics I’d give them a quick blast of seaweed (not kelp) at the root. Seaweed is full of cytokines and encourages cell division.
