We need more info....what kind of soil? have you fed? How's the pH? Is it outside? Did you harden it off?

I have fox farm soil, I watered it with water but didn't put nutes since the soil has nutes, and I have it in the shade.

Could be shock from the transplant. Just keep an eye on it and report back if you don't see her bounce back in a day or so.

Yea don't feed til 4 weeks out, that FFOF is good stuff.. transplant shock is a big possibility as angryblackman said but they'll bounce back
2-3 days is good enough for hardening off...
My guess is they need some full sunlight now and/or you are overwatering..throw them out and let that soil dry out a bit...

I also use FF soil for my GSC clones
and occasionally I get a leaf that turns
yellow in the beginning but always it
stops there and plenty of new
healthy leaves form and the plants
do very well from that point on.
For the first week of growth, I use just water and a little liquid seaweed/kelp
every other watering to reduce shock and to promote new vigorous growth
and roots. I add FF Grow Big liquid neuts starting the 2nd week with no ill
effects and nothing but strong healthy vigorous growth on 15 different strains
I have grown out including GSC. I can't say this will work for you though depending
on your environment and feeding schedule etc...

I have some liquid kelp so i'm gonna do that next time I water them. Do you any other tips on growing GSC?

I have yet to see a kickass GSC outdoor grow. I suspect that it's only beacuse it's "newer" on the scene and has a LOT of imitators. I suspect we will see a ton of new threads and great GSC grows this summer!

My GSC plants grow very strong, vigorous, healthy, dark green
and produce very well above average.
During veg I use de-chlorinated water by letting water sit with an airstone
for a day or two depending how often I water. This also oxygenates the water
and helps to build a healthy root system. Ever other watering, I feed with FF grow big,seaweed/kelp extract,
a small smidgen of cal/mag and dyna grow pro-tekt. Some say tap water has enough
cal/mag in it for plants and store bought cal/mag is a waste of money but I use it
anyway just in case. I don't want to be surprised with a all of the sudden deficiency so I use
it as precaution. Maybe one day I will do a side by side experiment with and without cal/mag
to see what happens. The pro-tekt builds a strong cell wall structure within the plants making it so
the branches will support bud weight better later and/or support the branches soaked from
rain during veg/flower. Protects against cold, heat, wind and pests, helps
to build a strong healthy root system as well and delivers vital nutrients more efficiently through the branches also.
How can one go wrong using pro-tekt? I use it throughout veg and flower.
Also throughout veg and flower I like to use unsulphered molasses to feed the beneficial microbes
in the soil thus in turn feed the plants leading to a overall healthier plant I believe.
During flower I keep the veg nuets going for the first two weeks to keep the plants leaves dark green and not
to lose them so quickly in the beginning of flower. For me, this always leads to more bigger and better
buds in the end as mostly healthy green leaves are the solar panels for the plants till the end.
Buds can still feed from the leaves when they are a healthy green and have more to feed
from throughout the flowering phase I believe.
Starting the 3rd week of flower I stop the veg neuts and start the flower neuts. In my case I use
dyna grow bloom 3-12-6, shooting powder, molasses, seaweed/kelp, pro-tekt, cal/mag.
My plants and yields always turn out very well using these things for growing with minimal to no
probs throughout. I do top my plants throughout veg to bush them out and they grow just as wide as they do tall. If you think about it what could possibly go wrong with this method other then
over doing it? In my experiences, pretty much nothing!
Long read and you didn't ask for my method of growing but I thought I would
throw this at ya and it helped me kill some time till the night rolls.
Good luck on your GSC's!

Hey man thx for writing all that I appreciate it. Would this also work well with OG strains? I have Tahoe OG Kush, SFV OG, Obama OG.
