Yesterday evening I went for a run. As I ran through a big, empty lot full of construction debris and weed-covered mounds, I spotted a young (~3 weeks old) cannabis plant! Now, this was very special, because I'm used to 100+ degree temps daily, and I've never seen one in the wild. It must've been the remnant of some tokin' Mexican construction workers or something. So anyway, I figured that I had better transplant it, let it recover under a few CFL lamps I have, then transplant it again to a nice place I know of that gets regular irrigation. I dug around it about 6 inches down and ripped off the taproot (I got about 6 inches of it, it must've been deep). I planted it in a 3 gallon pot with a mixture of Miracle Gro Garden Mix and vermiculite. Then I overwatered it and secured it to a little pole. Well, within about an hour it drooped severely. This morning I began an 18-hour light cycle. It's about a foot tall and drooping bad.
So, I know I made some BIG mistakes, and I am soliciting advice, because all I know to do is to continue the light cycle, water conservatively, and wait. If no advice comes to mind, then is there a way to tell if the plant is beyond repair, i.e. dead?
any time you transplant they will get droopy for a bit. should perk right up in no time.

It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." - Abraham Lincoln
