PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT

[noobgrowerstein]

So its been a pain growing in the winter time. I had some seeds go bad and now I got some clones to sub in. So as you can see in the photo the leafs are wilting. I just planted them yesterday and ran enough water through them until a little water ran out of the bottom. I use pro mix soil and advance nutrients. I run ph 6.0 (water) and about a quarter of what the nutrient amount should be per the bottle. I don't know if they are over or under watered. Or if there is another issue. My temp runs between 73-78 and humidity is around 50%.

UPDATE:

I got a soil moister reader and it read that the soil was wet. I put them into a new pot with a mix of dry and wet soil to even it out. I also elevated them higher of the ground so that the fan is actually hitting them. If they are over watered, how long does it take to come back. Please help!

These are clones? My guess is they're gonna look shocky for a few days at least.

Temp, humidity, pH, etc. all appear to be within the bell curve.

If it were me, I'd knock off the nutes until they're moved into bigger containers.

 

[noobgrowerstein]

Awesome thank you sooo much

Should have just misted them ... No reason to " run water thru them "

 

[noobgrowerstein]

Yeah I'm just gonna do that next time too.

To water properly, you give them a good watering when planted then leave them be until the top two inches of the soil is bone dry. In planters that size that may take 10 days or more. No nutes unless the lower growth is just starting to yellow. And CalMag, always with the CalMag, that stuff's a lifesaver.

And are you giving them strong light?

Everybody's got their opinions on watering. I like to grow in fabric bags. Place a hand against the lower part of the bag - if it feels cool to the touch and a little bit damp I figure they're good. I water when I think they want some water. I don't wait for the top 2 inches to dry out. Fabric bags (set up on baking trays or whatever so they're not in a puddle) are self-controlling to an extent. To over-water you'd have to be kind of clueless. Plastic pots are a different matter I guess.

I mentioned moving your clones to bigger containers because if/when those clones start building a head of steam they'll fill those pots with roots fast. Then you'll be shocking them again when they get moved. But I have zero experience with clones. Someone else might say it's important to let them get settled for a while before disrupting them again. All's I know is I hate waiting too long and damaging little roots that have climbed right out the bottom of the pot.

Our well water has some calcium and magnesium in it. Plus I was adding a commercial Cal-Mag. I still got yellowing that looked like calcium deficiency halfway thru my first grow. The only thing that stopped the yellowing was the addition of some dolomite lime. Since dolomite is a mineral that breaks down slowly, you can just throw a handful or two into each bag of soil and not worry about exact proportions. Finely ground dolomite will become available to the plant more quickly. You can buy a small bag and either sift it for the fines, or crush some to make your own fine material. At the end of a grow I throw some more dolomite in and store the soil in some RubberMaid containers for next time.

Are you treating your water to get it to pH 6? Our well water comes in at about pH 8.2. The commercial pH Down solutions use phosphoric acid. I like to use food grade citric acid. A couple of pounds of citric acid granules will last a long time.

Budzbuddha mentioned misting. I'm guessing this is something a person might do for a few days to help the little clones get established? Because my take on misting is it's generally regarded as not helpful and maybe even dangerous if you keep the plant so damp as to encourage mold.

Ok so I put them into there permanent home. Yes I have strong light they are under 1000w MH. And yes I get the water to 6 ph using ph down. I use a filter to filter chemicals out of the water. Right as I saw this I did notice some yellowing on the leaves. Will Calmag fix this? Here is an updated photo.

How many times have you repotted them including the first planting? Im counting atleast 3 transplants in 2 days and you wonder why they still look shocked. Leave them the hell alone now until they need watering again. They should recover in 5-7 days hope yhey arent autoflowers.

Transplant shock... don't go to heavy on watering them. They barely have a root system. Try rapid start by general hydroponics... I use it anytime my plants are having a hard time rooting. Trust me the shit works brilliantly

Thanks Ricky I will go get some today. Yeah I'm just gonna leave them alone. I get too paranoid when the slightest little thing goes wrong

Most of us do bro... it's a learning process. And anytime bro!!!

Calmag may help, it will take care of any calcium/magnesium/iron deficiency that may be developing. I would up the nute concentration since they are a bit yellow.
