Hi all,
first time grower in newly legal state!

I picked up a Dairy Queen clone from a friend, it doesn't seem to be super happy with life at the moment but I've only had it about 72 hours so I'm not sure what to do, or if I should just wait a bit to see if it rebounds under new light.



- Was under blurple LEDs when I got it, mars hydro I believe.
Has some definite yellowing and a bit of browning on the tips.
Planted in Coco
Definitely not dry. If anything it was over-watered before I got it.
It's now in an 18"x24"x48" box with whiteboard walls and a quantum LED panel about 20-24" above the plant.

I have repotting material ready to get it into a bigger pot, but didn't want to disturb it yet.

I'd been planning to do a mainlined grow with about 8 "tops" but this little clone is VERY asymmetrical so I'm not sure that'll work out. Once she's healthier I'll look for a nearly symmetrical place to top.

Nice light, Larry!

She wants a bigger pot. A little shocked right now, hard to tell what from. I would be gentle with the nutrients or compost teas or whatever you do after you repot, but don't ignore the nutrient needs either. Give her the once over for pests as well, can't hurt.

Thanks! I did my research on the light. :D

First thing I did before it entered my house was do a pest check, seems clean.

Yeah, I'm not remotely new to growing plants (just this species. heh), my wife and I have a house full of greenery.
I'm pretty sure it's just a little shocked from the recent repotting (yes, into that tiny cup by my friend), change of place and light, etc.
I think I'll gently repot with it's existing soil so it can start to stretch roots into fresh soil, and see how it goes.
