Hallo Masters of the Grow. I ordered three Cali cuttings (Colorado Nightshifter, Apple Fritters, Gorilla Zkittlez). And I’m cultivating for the first time. I had to repot all three because I only used 25-liter pots per plant. Everything was completely root-bound, damn it. And somehow all three of them let their leaves droop. They did that before too. Leaves light green and dark green. I planted them in organic grow soil. And now today I transplanted them into three 90-liter containers, properly perforated at the bottom. This time I used 240 liters of tomato vegetable soil. Acute lack of money. Will they recover? Do you have any tips for me? Oh, by the way, all three are already slightly in pre-flower. And with one of them, three shoots broke off during repotting. I would be very happy about answers. Thanks. Regards, Martin
They look good and I’m sure they’ll recover well even tho you transplanted in pre flower. My only concern is that the vegetable soil you used is probably high in nitrogen and may lead to nitrogen toxicity in flower.
I still have half a liter of organic bloom fertilizer. But should I apply it already during pre-flowering?
Hello and welcome @Martin1976
You have really impressive bushes there.
I believe what @Mjcalifornia meant was that since you repotted them in fresh soil, it might lead to a bit too much nitrogen during the flowering stage, which is likely coming up now.
We’ll see when the time comes.
I think you should water them thoroughly given the pot size
the warm weather also contributes to that.
The leaves are drooping a bit, but that could also be due to repotting.
So water them slowly and thoroughly until it gradually starts to run out the bottom. Then let them recover for a few days, I think that should be enough.
Kind regards.
If you have questions, I’m sure there are other more experienced growers than me here to help
It’ll work out. ![]()

And regarding the fertilizer.
Since you used fresh tomato soil, it will be well pre-fertilized, so I would wait a few more weeks with the fertilizer application.
Definitely run the current fertilizer out with a bit more watering. Are you keeping them outside? IMO that will be the best environment for them at this stage. I think they’ll be alright with exception to the point made above regarding Nitrogen in the flower, that’s a real thing.
Yes, I will definitely wait for that.
Will do. They are all still in pre-flower. Yes, all three outdoor.
